The Oran Mor Pipe Band was a Grade 1 internationally competitive pipe band based in Albany, New York. It was founded in 1992 by Jim Clough, Bill MacNeill, and Donald Lindsay, and was one of the most consistently high-achieving pipe bands in the United States.[1] Consistent success has earned it the title "Champions Supreme" in seven out of the last eight competition seasons with the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association (EUSPBA).[2]
After competing in Grade 2 for many seasons, the band was officially promoted to Grade 1 by the EUSPBA in December 2007,[3][4] and by the RSPBA in 2008.
Late in 2013, the band merged with the Stuart Highlanders, a Grade 2 Pipe Band based in Boston, MA, USA.[5][6][7]
