In the context of bagpiping, societies are organized, often non-profit groups, clubs, or associations dedicated to promoting the Highland bagpipe, fostering camaraderie among pipers, and preserving the tradition of piping music. They differ from competition-focused pipe bands by emphasizing fellowship, social, and educational aspects, providing a relaxed environment for players of all levels to perform.
