"In the heart of the Tar Heel state -- situated in the Capitol County of Wake, is a band which virtually appeared from nowhere and in short order has established themselves as a serious Public Safety Band..."  -  Fire Pipes & Drums.   This duly-constituted public safety organization, the Wake & District Public Safety Pipes and Drums (the) is a growing band drawing membership from the entire public safety service as well as members from the community. 

The band is a tax exempt, non-profit organization under Federal 501c3 laws.

Formed in 2006, the band serves those who have chosen a career to serve others.  Our mission is to provide a distinguishing tribute to our fallen comrades and to be in service to the family, friends and co-workers of public safety employees of North Carolina.  We desire to strengthen relations between the protective services and the public while preserving cultural heritage and enriching our community by providing traditional Bagpipe and Drum music.    You do not have to be a public safety officer to be a band member.  Want to join our ranks? 

The band competes in Grade V at events sanctioned by the  Eastern United States Pipe Band Association.
