The USNA PIPES AND DRUMS band was formed in 1996 through an endowment from the USNA Class of 1961.
They are an active ensemble in the Musical Activities Department at the Academy and are the only active duty pipe band in the Department of the Navy. It is one of only two active duty pipe bands in the military—the other being the Corps of Cadets Pipes and Drums at West Point. The midshipman ensemble includes bagpipers, highland drummers and highland dancers and can be seen in a variety of performances throughout the year: in Formal Parades, formations, Celtic and Renaissance festivals, competitions, and on the concert stage.
