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...

Rest In Peace Art Murray

The Band regrets to announce the passing of Arthur Murray.  
Art was a charter member of the Emerald Society and the Band, taking up the bagpipes at the age of 70.  He was appointed to the DCFD in 1955 and retired a Lieutenant in 1979.  Art celebrated his 90th birthday in March.
He still regularly attended Band practices and events.
Everyone will miss Art's never-ending supply of stories.  
We love you Art!

Thank You Kenny Cox!

The Band had the honor of playing for DCFD Legend Kenny Cox.  Kenny is a retired DC Fireman and longtime Local 36 Vice-President.  He is responsible for many of the benefits that firefighters have today, both in the DCFD and across the country.
Thank You Kenny!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

3/18/2021

 

​It's been a long year.  The last time the Band got to play together was the 2020 Annapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade.  There were no parades for us this year but we did manage to get out on St. Paddy's Day.  
​Special thanks to Eddie Conway & Garry's Grill in Severna Park, MD for giving us a place to play and to have a few cold ones together.
