BERGEN COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS PIPE BAND Our thoughts and prayers go out to The Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County's Steve Dunne's loved one's..He will be missed. Posted at 6:50 PM Mar 17, 2009 view more
BCFPB- Live in Ringwood, NJ ..
In the spring of 1996, letters were sent to all the fire departments in
Bergen County announcing the formation of the Bergen County Firefighters
Pipe Band. All firefighters in Bergen County interested in learning to play
the bagpipes were encouraged to meet at the American Legion post in Bogota,
NJ to discuss this new venture.
There were nine men at that first meeting who were introduced to the founders of the band: Paul Kearns, a Teaneck firefighter and Pat Martens, an experienced instructor with a vast history of creating bands throughout the tri-state area. With their leadership, experience and hard work, and with the shared knowledge of our first drum instructor, Dennis Gordon, the band was able to play it’s first public performance in February, 1997. Since that time, the band has seen many players come and go and we have outgrown the walls of the American legion. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.BCFPB.COM
Having moved for a short time to the Leonia Civic Center, the band now calls
Ralph H. Hall, Post #5561, VFW its home in Bogota. Doug Parody, the band’s
current pipe instructor, took over for Pat Martens in 1999. Rob Cirincione is the band’s current drum instructor.
The Pipe Major is James Schmitt, one of the original nine firefighters who showed up in 1996 for the first meeting. James belongs to both Ridgefield Park and Bogota Volunteer Fire departments.
Our uniform is military style signified by the Glen Garry cap with the badge
of each member’s fire department, white spats, longhaired sporran, and the
uniform shirt, a Memorial Kilt Pin in Memory of Martin Duffy ... The band members designed the kilt. After many heated meetings the membership decided to customize a tartan from the many samples made available to them.

Thank you for the friendship and for your support in helping increase the effort to EDUCATE our youth of the dangers of drugs and violence. Our future generation depends on the youth of today. Alcohol and Drugs are plaguing our society and we need to attack it head on where it is digging its roots; with our youth in our schools. Knowledge and Truth are the key to help them stay clean. They deserve the TRUTH about all of the drugs they will incounter. They are simply too smart to accept the old 'Just Say NO' adage. Todays teens want to KNOW for themselves, and a rebellious society we have created. They will seek the truth themselves and we must educate them with it. That's what they respect; That's what they deserve! A NEW D.A.R.E. REQUIRES A NEW APPROACH! Please help spread the word and tell your friends about D.A.R.E. Feel free to visit D.A.R.E. online at www. dare. com for more info on starting a D.A.R.E. program in your area and/or to show your support. Peace :-)
I really appreciate your support and helping spread the word - as a group we can really make a difference! Hope you are doing well and you have a great week!
