This ain't Ireland, so why bagpipe bands? How about drum and bugle?
The bagpipes aren't Irish, they are Scottish. During colonial times in New York the British soldiers who were Catholic (Irish) were only aloud to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in uniform. Catholic members of the Scottish Highlanders (kilts and pipes)would lead the celebration/parade. The tradition carried on in New York after Independence and with the police being traditionally Irish it stuck.
Probably more then you wanted know but that's the connection.
Where you are from rosco you would probably want the bucket boys.
We need to support the Pipes and drums of the Emerald Society at their 25th Year Concert. They have been their for the Police and Fireman funerals and numerous events throught the quarter century. You can buy your ticket at the dooer or on line from Orchestra Hall 220 S. Michigan. Come out to support the cause!!
