The Ultimate Personal Touch for Our Family's Affair
I emphatically recommend Hampton Pipes and Drums to anyone considering adding a wonderful, personal touch for their special day. Victor beautifully played the bagpipes at my son's Wedding on St. Patricks's Day and he was truly a Highlight for the affair. He was punctual, personable and professional. This experience will forever be a lasting memory in our family.

About
Our band experience has brought us from venues such the United States Military Academy
at West Point to the Nassau Coliseum. We've performed at the Jones Beach Theatre, playing at concerts for Rod Stewart and the Police. We've played with Rownan Tynan (The Irish Tenors) in our own home town of South Hampton. We have performed for Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other Dignitaries.
Our drummer is a highly qualified and talented percussionist with 26 years of playing experience and is the recipient of 5 solo drumming awards by the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association. The Dirge March is captivating when played by our World Class Snare Drummer as a tribute at a Memorial Service.
We can perform in Highland Military Attire or Formal Scottish Civilian Attire for a formal function. Our Snare Drum is draped with a mourning cover at funerals, for appropriate appearance and tone. Hampton Pipes will communicate directly with Event Planners, Funeral Directors and Honor Guards in planning your event. We will accommodate your suggestions and requests for particular tunes. Hampton Pipes hail from the eastern end of Long Island, NY. We will gladly put together a play list for your function.
