Letter from Kevin McCarthy




Our Mission

The original mission of Brigade Pipes and Drums was to provide musical support and lend an air of dignity and decorum for the funerals of Brigade members. Firefighter Line of Duty Death funerals and memorials were soon added band's duties.

Parades, Inaugurations, Cultural Events and Competitions now round off a full year's worth of appearances for the Band.

Band Profile

The majority of the band members are paid professional firefighters from Boston and area fire departments. Band members all belong to our parent organization - The Boston Gaelic Fire Brigade. The Brigade's purpose is to further the cause of preserving our Irish and Gaelic heritage and culture.

The Band is a member of the North American Pipe Band Association as Grade V.

We were proud to accept the Cork City, Ireland's "Best Overseas Band Trophy",  an official parade sponsored decoration, awarded by the Lord Mayor of Cork City, on St. Patrick's Day 1998.
