Snohomish County Firefighters Pipes and Drums is a firefighter owned and operated pipe band in Snohomish County, Washington. Each member of SCFFPD is an active firefighter serving a Fire Department within Snohomish County. The band was established to promote brotherhood and increase the camaraderie of Snohomish County Firefighters by honoring tradition, and respecting those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. SCFFPD is not a competition band but plays for funerals, weddings, graduation ceremonies, parades, and other events. In January of 2007 two Snohomish Co. Fire Dist. 7 Firemen started the process of forming a group to learn traditional pipes and drums music. After advertising the newly forming group, an overwelming response from around the county produced a group of 16 pipers and 9 drummers. SCFFPD selected Neil Hubbard as bagpipe instructor and Steve Roy as drumming instructor. With help from Seattle Firefighters Pipes and Drums and Tualitan Valley Fire Pipes and Drums we are becoming organized, registered as a non-profit group and will be ready to play events in the future.
