Easily the world’s most recognizable pipe band, members of the NYPD Pipes & Drums have traversed the globe over the past five decades, playing throughout North America, Europe and Australia.

Bush in 2005.A fixture in the entertainment world, the Band has been featured on television programs such as Third Watch, Ryan’s Hope, Late Night with David Letterman, the Today Show and Good Morning America; films including Ghostbusters II, State of Grace, The Departed, Pride & Glory and Salt; at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Broadway performances of Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.
