| | Pipe band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A popular bagad, Bagad Brieg, recently performed with the Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band and released a recording in 2002 entitled La Boum Ecosse, in which both the traditional pipe band and the bagad perform together. |
 | | A modern-day bagad consists of a biniou braz (bagpipe), a bombarde section, a drum corps, perhaps more accurately described nowadays as a 'large and varied percussion section' (one band's percussionists lug around a huge metal model elephant), and any additional musical instruments the band wishes to add. |
 | | Common additions are small jazz orchestras, guitars, and other forms of binious. |
