The Band is heartbroken with the news out of Baltimore City. We send our thoughts and prayers to the Baltimore City Fire Department and all of the families and friends affected by this tragedy. It has affected all of us.
We hope they Rest In Peace.

Rest In Peace Jim Embrey

The Band had the honor of piping home Emerald Society Life Member James "Jimmy" Embrey.  Jimmy was appointed to Truck 6 on 5-14-72 and retired as a Lieutenant from Truck 9 on 12-30-2000. Jimmy was a long time Truck Driver at Truck 6 and was considered one of the Department's top "subject matter experts" on the fine art of truck work. Jimmy was also one of the foremost experts on the history and apparatus of the DCFD, devoting countless hours to working with the Department and the FFA Museum to document and preserve our heritage.
​Rest In Peace Jimmy!

The Band made the drive up to Scranton, PA for their St. Patrick's Day Parade on September 18th.  We had a great time and made some new friends.  Hopefully we can make it back for the regular parade in March.  
Special thanks to the Culkin family for their hospitality and welcoming us into their home (and pool).  Check out their page here...
