The Ballut Abyad Pipe Band, one of the oldest continuous pipe bands in the Southwest, was formed in 1959.
One of the founding band members, Sy Feldman. (Pipe Major Emeritus) is still active with the band in 2005.
The mission of the band is to represent the high standards of the Ballut Abyad Shrine in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The band financially
