The Pipe Sergeant position can be found in many civilian, para-military as well as military pipe bands around the world. In the British Army, the Pipe Sergeant position is an appointment and not a military rank. The position is normally given to a highly-capable piper who holds the rank of Sergeant or Colour Sergeant. In order to be considered for the Pipe Sergeant appointment in a British Army regiment, a candidate is normally expected to have obtained the Pipe Major's Certificate at the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming. Once appointed, it is usually only a matter of time before the Pipe Sergeant is appointed Pipe Major of the Regiment.
