Since its inception in 1982, The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band has been an international leader in bagpiping and drumming, boldly presenting innovative music with subtle hints of Celtic tradition.  The band is a force that promotes the continuous improvement of musical skill-set through teaching, concert performances and professional competitions.  The band travels to Glasgow, Scotland every year to compete on the international stage at the most advanced level (Grade 1) in the World Pipe Band Championships.  The 78th holds 12 Canadian Championship titles, 12 North American Championship titles, a ranking position as one of the top 12 bands in the world 20+ times, as well as a very prestigious and historic title: that of being the first non-Scottish pipe band to win the World Pipe Band Championships in Grade 1 (1987).

The 78th has performed for packed halls in various parts of Canada, the United States, Northern Ireland and Scotland.  The band has professionally produced 8 recordings, with "Live in Ireland" being the most sold pipe band recording of all time.  These albums help reinforce the level of artistry and talent demanded by The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band.
