A bit of our history...
The Emerald Society Pipe Band of the Nassau County Police was founded in September, 1974.
It's purpose was to formulate and promote an interest in bagpiping and drumming, while
creating a friendly and fraternal spirit among its members. With Jerry Cronin as
Bandmaster and Bob Rafferty as his assistant, the dream was finally realized.
The Band made it's first appearance in 1975 at Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, N.Y. with
eight pipers and four drummers.
Our first twenty five years were memorable and the next twenty five hold the promise of
being that and much more. Thank you for all of our supporters and families for their
patience. |
