Tehachapi Concert in the Park
Thanks to all that came and supported/played the Concert in the Park last Sunday. It was probably our hottest concert ever and we played well and I think as usual, the audience was pleased.

Our New Website
Greetings everyone. Our website has been through some changes in the past; however, nothing compared to the new layout currently in place. Great effort has been made to change the look of our site to make it...
Welcome to TMP&D!
We are a community based bagpipe band, based in Tehachapi, California. Band members are from various communities within Kern and Los Angeles Counties. Please feel free to join us at some of our upcoming events.
We are also available for weddings, parties, funerals, installations, St. Patricks Day, parades, and much more. Contact us for more information.
Our Practice / Rehearsals are held every Thursday evening from 6-9pm at the Wayside Chapel in Rosamond, California located at:
2584 Felsite Ave. A map can be viewed here. Practice runs from 6-7pm for Beginners and 7-9pm for Full band rehearsal.
(Please Check calendar for last minute changes)
At TMP&D we have developed a graduated program of instruction particularly for learner
pipers. It "starts off easy" and moves in a systematic and organized manner from easy tunes to simple marches and then on to more progressive music.
We encourage everyone interested, from absolute beginners to experienced players of all ages and backgrounds to join us for fun and music. We do not hold or use auditions as a pre-requisite for playing with the Band.
