Father of Waters Pipes and Drums
Jackson, MS
The Father of Waters Pipes and Drums is Mississippi's first chartered Scottish Highland pipe and drum band, and the largest performing group of Scottish pipers and drummers in the state. We are a non-profit organization made up of volunteer members from all over Mississippi, and we perform at various events throughout the year from parades to memorials to festivals. Our regular performances include the Mal's St. Patrick's Day Parade in Jackson, the Natchez St. Patrick's Day Parade, the Mississippi Scottish Highland Games and CelticFest, both in Jackson, the Laurel Christmas Parade, the Meridian Christmas Parade, the Jackson Fallen Firefighters Memorial, the Jackson Police Department's Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, Pepsi Pops with the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, Lena July 4th Celebration, Cotton District Arts Festival in Starkville, and inauguration events for Governor Ronnie Musgrove and Governor Haley Barbour. We are happy help beginners who wish to learn the Highland bagpipes or drumming, and our rehearsals are open to visitors.
