Secretary-Treasurer

The Northwest Territorial Pipe Band is currently learning a new bagpiping tune Diu Regnare, composed by well-known Scottish piper Stuart Liddell.  

This tune was composed specifically for the platinum anniversary of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2, on June 2, 1952 (so the anniversary is a sunset on June 2, 2022). 

The plan is for the Band to play this tune at sunset on June 2, 2022.  

The first link below includes the sheet music and a sound file of the tune on the pipes.  The second link is the tune with a drum score.  Pipers and drummers who intend to play this tune should register at on the third website listed.  The remaining sites relate to activities for the Platinum Jubilee and the last site is a reminder of the role of the Governor General, the Queen's representative for Canada.
