This duly-constituted public safety
organization, the Wake & District Public Safety Pipes and Drums
(the
District)
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.
