GFD Pipes And Drums

bringing tradition back…

Lewisville KTA 2

Thanks to the support of our families and the Fire Department, 6 members of the band attended the 2nd Annual Keeping Tradition Alive Pipes and Drums / Honor Guard Symposium in Lewisville, TX. This years Symposium was attended by over 300 Fire Fighters from 14 states. Members arrived Wednesday night, visited with attendees and went to eat twice! Thursday kicked off with an amazing opening ceremonies and then a meet and greet. We started in on the workshop about 1pm. We broke about 5pm and went to downtown Lewisville to perform with all of the other Pipers and Drummers in a Massed Band setting. We were treated to Firehouse Subs thanks to the LFD and then it was on to the Pub Crawl at a couple of Lewisville’s old pubs downtown. Friday it was back to work and a chance to sell and buy T-shirts. On a side note…one of our members is in fact still alive after returning home and informing his wife he had purchased 15 T-shirts from all of the bands in attendance.
