Formed in February 2005 under the vision of Pipe Major Emeritus Scott MacLeod, the Black Bear Caledonia Pipe Band has been performing throughout the greater Cleveland area ever since.  The band has participated in numerous community parades and festivals as well as local church and school events.  The main objective of the BBCPB is to promote the arts of Scottish piping and drumming through performances and teaching while providing a place for more accomplished pipers and drummers to perform.  The focus within Black Bear is always on the music and the camaraderie of working and playing together. 

 Currently the band has many beginner players, both on pipes and drums, who are products of the band’s teaching program.  Aspiring musicians are welcome in our band and instructors are available for both bagpipe and Scottish snare drumming.  Contact Pipe Major Brian Borowski for bagpipe lessons or go to the Join the Band for information on playing with Black Bear.

Black Bear Caledonia Pipe Band proudly wears the Holyrood tartan.  The Holyrood tartan represents the district of Holyrood in Scotland, home to the royal palace and ruined abbey adjacent to King's Park in Edinburgh.  For years it has been the Royal residence of the Scottish sovereigns, most notably Mary Queen of Scots.  The Holyrood tartan was created as an adaptation of the Royal Stewart.  This tartan has taken on a new relevance following the seating of the first Scottish Parliament in 300 years, based at Holyrood in 1999.
