Sri Dasmesh Pipe Band to Perform Msia’s First Bagpipe Concert at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS on Merdeka Day

Founded in 1986 by brothers Sukdev Singh and Harvinder Singh, the band was named after Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs. Based in Kuala Lumpur, the band is composed of passionate volunteers and youth musicians, many of whom are trained at the Sri Dasmesh International School. Over the decades, the band has performed across the globe, from ANZAC Day parades in Australia to tributes in Scotland, and has become a cultural ambassador for Malaysia.

Sri Dasmesh Pipe Band made global headlines in 2019 when they became the first Southeast Asian band to win the Grade 4B category at the prestigious World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland. Their victory was accompanied by additional accolades for Best Drumming and Best Parade, showcasing their technical excellence and showmanship.

In 2024, the band continued its winning streak at the South East Asian Pipe Band Championships, sweeping top honors in categories such as Band Open A, Street Parade, and Drum Fanfare.
