James Troy was pipe major of a youth band under Ian Duncan of Victoria, until he turned sixteen and aged out.[1][2] In 1961, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force pipe band, and in 1972 founded the City of Victoria Pipe Band with Steve Geddes as pipe sergeant.[2][3] The band was based on the model of Muirhead & Sons and Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia.[1]
The band's most significant competition achievement was to come sixth in the World Championships in Nottingham in 1979.[3]
