edward p. maloney memorial pipe band
Our band is named in honor of Edward Patrick Maloney, a founder and charter member of the New York City Police Department Emerald Society Pipe and Drum band, considered in pipe circles to be the Notre Dame of bagpipe bands. The NYPD band was formed in 1960 and made its debut in the 1961 St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York City. Mr. Maloney, a son of Irish immigrants, served in the Navy during the Korean War and later logged 21 years on the NYPD. He was an active bandsman at the time of his death in May 2000.
