FDNY Emerald Society Pipes & Drums


	Thank you for stopping by the FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums website. We are a band grounded in the NY Fire Department heritage, evolving from a rich Gaelic tradition to perform for fire department functions, community service events, corporate events, and musical venues. We have served for the past 46 years with our love of music and community service. The FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums is a non-profit, all-volunteer musical group, supported solely through donations and sponsorships. We are a 501(3)c foundation; donations are tax-deductible. Equipment and educational costs are demanding on budgets; therefore, public and private sponsor-ships are welcome. The band would like to thank those who have generously contributed in the past. If you or your corporation would like to make a donation or become a sponsor of one of New York City's premier bagpipe bands, please click here to make your much-needed donation. Did you know that our band is available for hire, and that playing for you is another way we raise money? Donate!

In the spirit of all our departed Brothers, both in the band and in the department, we will continue to dedicate ourselves and our music to them by proudly playing and marching to American, Irish and Scottish tunes and representing our Society and the FDNY.

We are proud of our Irish heritage, proud to be Americans, and proud to be members of the New York City Fire Department. As present members of the band we will carry on the tradition into the future, praying and hoping that our future Emeralds will carry on what was started by the Charter Members of 1962.
