Portland Metro Pipe Band at the 2008 Bellingham Highland Games.

Portland Metro Pipe Band was formed in late 2006 as a competitive pipe band for dedicated musicians. Led by Pipe Major Mark Tomasetti and Drum Sergeant Andrew Finley, the Portland Metro Pipe Band is made up of Grade 1 and 2-level players from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Portland Metro finished second overall in the 2008 Grade III competition season sponsored by the British Columbia Pipers Association. The highlights of the season included first place finishes for medley at the Coquitlam Highland Games, Skagit Valley Highland Games and Portland Highland Games. The band is also the current Washington State Pipe Band Champion for Grade III. Portland Metro Pipe Band will be adding several new members to the corps for the 2009 season.
