PIPE BANDS WITHOUT PATCHES

The High Desert Trader wishes to acknowledge and thank those organizations that were kind enough to respond to my e-mail request for pipe band insignia information.

Many of these bands use a cap badge, tie tack, bass drum head, or other means to identify their unit. To others, band identification is simply not important in that..... "Everybody knows my name." (Theme song from "Cheers", NBC's longest running comedy series 1982-1993)

The following is a list of pipe bands that do not use a shoulder patch for identification: Note: If the information below is not current or you have additional band units you would like me to add to this list, please let me know
