Introducing the Boston EMS Regimental Pipes and Drums

                On March 24, 1998, the first meeting of those interested in forming an EMS Pipe and drum band was held in one of the Boston EMS Academy classrooms.  From this starting point, a group of dedicated EMT’s and Paramedics have begun to practice playing Highland Bagpipes, and Drums in preparation for a performing, marching pipe band.  All of the members are new adult learners in these instruments.  Our mission is to advance and promote our chosen profession, to provide an air of dignity, and decorum to EMS related events, the most solemn of which are the memorials and funerals of Members, their families, and co-workers.  

                 Now named The Boston EMS Regimental Pipes and Drums; The only EMS based pipe and drum band in the nation to date, the Regiments’ members have worked for months in becoming proficient in the music at weekly practices.  The Regiment operates independently, and is solely funded by its members, and the generous support of donations, and fund-raising efforts.  We are fast approaching the point when we will be playing more, and more, public appearances.   

Practices are held every Tuesday evening from 6:00 to 7:30 in the Bragdon St. EMS garage in Jamaica Plain.  Please fee free to pull up, walk on in, and listen in on a practice session.  

                Currently, the Regiment is seeking new members to join in our efforts.  No prior Musical experience is necessary, as all members are new, adult learners.  Any EMS workers in the area are welcome to join the Regiment.  All members have equal input as to the decisions of the Regiment.  We would be proud to have representatives from all area ambulance companies in our numbers.    If interested, please contact the Regiment for more information:
