Granada High Charter Bagpipers and Drummers
Celebrate 20 years in Granada Hills with Bagpipers. This event was a very well done graduation of the senior class of 2024. Faculty and guests watched on as 1156 students turned their tassels. Intro music by Granada High Charter Bagpipers. Finally, the high school years are history.
Julian Gomez of GHC was the master planner of this top notch celebration. And bagpipe players and drummers have been part of the event for years. This is because of the team name “Granada Hills Highlanders“.
For decades bagpiper and drum musicians have been incorporated into high school marching bands
Granada High School had a strong team in the 70’s and 80’s. Also. the quality of the bagpiper (s) was excellent. The ceremony was at John Elway Stadium. And, now culteral awareness is seen more on campus.
Interestingly, not too far away Glendora High School also has a bagpipe band contingent. And this band is active and competes around the country. One year they were in the Rose Parade.
Harry Farrar is director and founder of Scottish Pipes & Drums. Basically SP&D (bagpipeplayers.com) is a professional group of a few musicians that handle private events as well as high profile bagpipe performances. This includes TV/Film and celebrity performances, including “Hell’s Kitchen”.

Update May 2025. Suprisingly, Scottish Pipes & Drum was abruptly replaced as the Graduation Bagpipe Band. In fact, the City Of Angels band was the opener on graduation night 2025. Meanwhile, Scottish Pipes and Drums has been pleased to represent the tradition at the school for all the previous years. And, remember the years as Granada High Charter Bagpipers.
