New York St Patrick's Day 2010 parade NYPD- Emerald Society pipes & drums.MOV

What the hell are they wearing? St. Patrick's day with symbols and icons of Scotland? With rip-off Highland military uniforms? Why do the Americans get it so wrong.

Don't you have enough problems of your own in the UK to worry about what the NYPD Pipes and Drums wear, play, etc.? Get some hobbies, bro.

celebrating Ireland with Scottish culture? Dumb Americans know nothing.

@222macgregor what do you know? maybe if you had a brain you would know that the Irish adopted the pipes from the Scottish and made their own type of music. That's why the NYPD PIPES and DRUMS is one of the most well known IRISH pipe bands in the WORLD. Just do a little research before you go running your mouth...a highly respected band like the NYPD PIPES and DRUMS would greatly appreciate it

@irishkid92 Pipes and drums in those uniforms, in that pattern of formation, wearing replica's of scottish military uniforms, is a Scottish thing. It can be an Irish based band, but pipe bands are scottish.

Otherwise you wouldn't have heard them playing Mairies Wedding followed by SCOTLAND the Brave.

I have no problem with Irish pipe bands, my mother is Irish. However trying to say pipe bands belong to Ireland is just off. Irish Regiment based, sure, but apart from that, no.

Wow, this is what I miss the most about New York-the Pipe and Drum corp!

Finbarr would be very proud.
