Welcome!

The Worcester Fire Brigade Pipes & Drums was formed in October 1994 and since that time, has gained a reputation as a top service pipe band in the area.

Aside from traditional events such as St. Patrick’s Day or Memorial Day parades, the band performs at various functions such as sporting events, government and business conferences, not to mention various fire department memorials, functions and fund raisers. Since its inception, the band has had the regrettable yet honored duty of playing many Line of Duty and Active Duty funerals from firefighters all across Massachusetts.

With the exception of the tenor drum instructor, all members of the band are current and former members of fire service agencies from around the Commonwealth. While there is still a heavy representation from the Worcester Fire Department, band members come from many departments in the Commonwealth such as: Shrewsbury, Oxford, Charlton, West Boylston, Milford, Framingham, Cambridge, and Amherst.

Please check out the Calendar page to see a list of performances the band has given through the years including our annual parades and events. If you would like to hire the band, or individual pipers; or are a member of a fire service agency and are interested in joining the band, please go to the Contact section to talk with band leaders.
