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 AssociationFor the 2009 season the band tied for 6th place out of 117 bands!!!

St. Patty’s Run Green 8K

On Sunday, March 7, 2010 band members participated in the 2nd Annual St. Patty’s Run Green 8k. While we didn’t actually run in the race - we most certainly partook in a marathon event by playing the pipes and drums for almost an hour straight as the 1500 participants raced to the finish line; the band finished last.  Read more here.
