HOW IT ALL BEGAN:  The story begins in 1923 when a group of men from the Ulster Special Constabulary, based just outside Cookstown, decided to form a band. That day marked the dawn of a new era in the pipe band fraternity for that was the day Tullylagan Pipe Band was born. Named after the area from which it originated it has become one of the best known and well respected bands in piping circles.

FIRST OUTING: On the 12th August 1925 Tullylagan Pipe Band was formally introduced to the public when they hit the road for the first time, leading Donaghrisk RBP 31 on parade.

First members included J Warnock, T Swaile, A Trainor, J Trainor, H Black, S Taylor, S Millar, J Montgomery, H Montgomery, A Nobles and J Black.  The first band tartan was Cameron, however following a request from McGregor Greer, owner of Tullylagan Manor, they switched to McGregor tartan, the tartan that is still worn today.

TODAY'S BAND:  The present Pipe Major of the Band is Alan Warnock and the Leading Drummer is Geoffrey Hamilton. The band is currently rebuilding and competing in Grade 4B.
