Welcome to the DCFD Emerald Society Pipes & Drums home on the web.

10th Anniversary and CD Release Party

Just a decade ago a group of DCFD Firemen got together to establish a Pipeband to establish and carry on the traditions that run throughout the fire service. From Line of Duty Deaths to Parades, they've worked hard to be prepared for anything and grow the band into the sizeable force it is today. Saturday night was a celebration amongst family, friends, and supporters to honor the Band and thier families whom have endured the countless hours of practice and performances since 2002. The celebration also marked the release of the DCFD Pipes and Drums first CD, "Keeping the Tradition Alive" which is available in the DCFD Pipes and Drums Web Store. With 10 years in the books, and many more to come, the DCFD Pipes and Drums kicked off their parade season and looks forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming events.
