Our History

Our Story

A Little About Us

Prior to the fall of 2019 the Foothills Caledonia Youth Pipe Band was called the Ogden Legion Pipe Band.

The OLPB was originally formed in 1972. It was sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, Ogden Branch #154 in Southeast Calgary, Canada. Despite the closing of the Ogden Branch, OLPB retained the name and proudly continued to honour its legion roots. Building on this history, FCYPB continues to be Southern Alberta’s premier youth band. Though our name has changed our history remains. We are thankful to all the many members of years past and look forward to a bright future.
