Just didnt think of other firefighters being into the bagpipes. My son playes the pipes and the other the drums. I am in the color gaurd. We belong to the Gordan Highlanders which is out of Buffalo,NY. We actually March in allot of firemans parades and do esorts for fire departments. Just wondering how many other FF's are into the pipes.
Kevin, that being the case You need to get out more..:) In January I began a Firefighters Pipe band forum, to begin Documenting Fire Service Pipe bands both Nationally as well internationally, because it has never been done.. http://www.phpbbserver.com/smokenpipes .. I currently have nearly 150 bands listed.. safe to say there are a Couple of guys that are into the Pipes all around North America..and beyond , There is also another group HERE called bagpipes .... and from The SMOKE n Pipes forum, YOucan find another Brother's Brand new Blog he began last month , That will be highlighting a Pipe band a month, sort of an interview.... ITs Large and Open and growing weekly
