The meeting was attended by former members and followers of an existing Hobart based Pipe Band. The name 'Derwent Scottish' resulted from an earlier meeting of interested parties. As the story goes, the meeting invited suggestions for a suitable name for the proposed new band.
At the height of deliberations, someone, to this day unknown, commented that the band would be a Scottish Pipe Band based in Hobart on the banks of the Derwent River; why not the Derwent Scottish Pipe Band?Hence the current name. Parades are the lifeblood of the Band. They are an opportunity to show off the musical and marching skills of the players, as well as providing the Band with a source of income.
