2025 Thank You

The Band Officers of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Pipes and Drums would like to extend our heartfelt thank you to every piper and drummer that attended the 2025 Memorial to honor our fallen. This was one of the best sounding years we have ever had and everyone came prepared with the music and ability to adjust on the fly to the logistical weather items we had to deal with. Mother Nature could not stop us and the families have sent their outpouring of thanks to everyone. Hopefully everyone has made it home safely and we look forward to next year May 1st through May 3rd, 2026. Please remain vigilant with keeping up with the tunes and visiting this website throughout the next year for any updates.

NFFFPD Memorial Weekend Update 4-29-2025

Memorial Weekend Update    I hope everyone is well as Memorial Weekend is just under a week away. We continue to honor our fallen and comfort their families with heartfelt music as we always do. Some items of note for this year: Everyone should have seen the pipes and drums information at www.nfffpd.com and be coming prepared with the tunes down, appropriate uniforms and knowledge of other pertinent information. Bring rain gear. There is no alternate location this year and the event will be held on campus rain or shine with the potential for delays due to any storms. As of this writing, there are the potential for storms Friday and Saturday morning. We have a very large tent on campus as a contingency for any weather. The set-up will be similar to our previous years at Mount St Mary's Knott Arena and we will adjust accordingly if needed. Check-in is at Liberty Mountain Resort and NOT  Mount Saint Mary's. You should have seen this in your welcome email from NFFF We hope to...
