Taggart Pipes & Drums is a non-profit organization based in Deep River, Connecticut. Under the leadership of Pipe Major, George W. Martin, since being formed in 1990, the band focuses on promoting the Celtic culture through music by participating in local parades, musters and festivals in Connecticut and the surrounding New England area including, from time to time, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Originally formed as a pick up band participating mostly in parades, the band has grown into a well known marching band! It is almost taken for granted that the band will participate in community events and is always received warmly!
Members uniforms consist of traditional highland dress with kilts pertaining to the ancestral clan tartans of an individual member. Our jacobite shirts mimic those worn by the Ancient Highlanders.
