Regular Events
The band performs annually in the Calgary Stampede Parade, having attended every one since the inception of the organization.
The band regularly competes at local Highland games such as the Canmore Highland Games every Labour Day weekend.
The band is also used for CPS ceremonial events, including award ceremonies and graduation parades.
Two annual dinners are held, one for Robert Burns night, a tradition since 1976, and another "Mess Dinner" in military style to honour members of the Pipe Band.

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or events:
“It was inspiriting to hear the regular dip of the paddles, as if they were our fins or flippers, and to realize that we were at length fairly embarked. We who had felt strangely as stage-passengers and tavern-lodgers were suddenly naturalized there and presented with the freedom of the lakes and woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
