Knox Old Boys Pipe Band Steps Out for a Busy Weekend of Performances 

The Knox Old Boys Pipe Band enjoyed a lively weekend of music, community spirit and public performance, with members representing the band at both OKGA Sports Day and the St Ives Food and Wine Fair. 

OKGA Sports Day 

On Saturday 19 September 2026, four pipers performed at the various sporting events around the School as part of OKGA Sports Day. Pipe Major Allan Watts (OKG77) was joined by Rob Tulloch (OKG75), Lachlan Liao (OKG98) and Andrew Stevenson (OKG88), with performances at several points throughout the day. 

St Ives Food and Wine Fair 

The following day, Sunday 20 September 2026, the band continued its weekend program with a well-received public performance at the St Ives Food and Wine Fair. Nine pipers and two drummers took part, entertaining visitors in the spring sunshine at St Ives Shopping Village. 

Valedictory Ceremony 

On the 21st, Old Boy pipers Lochlan Stevenson (OKG24) and Daniel Corbett (OKG22) piped the new leavers through the School and into the Weeks Academy to receive their Old Boy Ties. A new tradition has begun. 

Looking Ahead 

The band is now preparing for its next major community appearance at the Wahroonga Christmas Fair, scheduled for the first weekend of December. This event will feature a combined performance with the school pipe band in a mass band format. 

Practices and Membership 

Rehearsals are held in the Grand Hall on Sundays at 5 PM. Any Old Boy pipers or drummers interested in joining the pipe band are encouraged to contact Allan Watts at admin@knoxoldboyspipeband.org.au
