This duly-constituted public safety
organization, the Wake & District Public Safety Pipes and Drums
(Wake
&
District)
is a growing band drawing membership from the public safety
services, active and retired military as well as members from the community
(teachers, doctors and more).
The band is a tax exempt, non-profit organization under Federal
501c3 laws.
Formed in 2006, the band serves those who have
chosen a career to serve others.
Our mission is to provide a distinguishing tribute to our fallen
comrades and to be in service to the family, friends and co-workers
of public safety employees of North Carolina. We desire to
strengthen relations between the protective services and the public
while preserving cultural heritage and enriching our community by
providing traditional Bagpipe and Drum music.
You do not have to be a public safety officer to be a band
member. Want to join our ranks?
The band competes in Grade
4 and 5 at events sanctioned by the
Eastern United States
Pipe Band Association.

BRANDING
THE BAND
In late December the band began working with a local Raleigh
designer, Joel Perrego of
VAST DESIGN
on branding the band. We told Joel and his team we are a
public safety bagpipe and drum band – formed in 2006, serving those
who have chosen a career to serve others.
