The Hugh O'Conor Memorial Pipe Band is composed of a group of bagpipers and drummers, with members primarily based in Arizona. The band traveled to Ireland in 2023 to compete in the All Ireland Pipe Band Competition, and regularly performs concerts throughout the Phoenix area, including marching in the Phoenix St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
In August 2025, the band proudly represented Arizona at the Interceltic Festival of Lorient in Lorient, France, joining performers from across the Celtic world in one of the largest festivals of its kind.
A big thank you goes to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community for helping make this international experience possible through support from the Arizona Benefits Fund from Tribal Gaming.
