Rosie O’Grady’s Highlanders has been in existence for over forty years. The band began its career as the Central Florida
Pipes and Drums in 1974. When Bob Snow opened the Church Street Station entertainment complex
in 1980, he offered to sponsor the band. Bob asked that we give the band a name that followed the conventions of the
Church St. theme, and since the first
show place to open was Rosie O’Grady’s, that was the name we adopted.
As employees of Church Street Station the band was required to regularly perform on Saturday evenings, and for special functions.
We were also expected to provide individual pipers and drummers to perform throughout the remainder of the week. With th e closing
of Church Street Station we lost our favorite performance venue, but we've maintained the band's name and nature.
We perform regularly throughout the year and are always looking for new performance venues.
If you or your organization would like to arrange an appearance by the Rosie O'Grady's Highlanders at your next event,
please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@rosiespipeband.org!
