Pipes & Drums on the Georgetown Square

The Georgetown Fire Department’s Pipes & Drums Band provided some lively and uplifting music last Friday evening  for the City of Georgetown’s Summer Music on the Square concert series.    The group has been around since 2006 and comprised mainly of Georgetown firefighters who also happen to have some fine musical ability.    Also on display at the concert was New York’s FDNY Engine 4, making its way around the United States as part of the Remembrance Rescue Project.   Engine 4 was one of the responders during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.   All eight firefighters who responded on this engine died in the buildings’ collapse.    For now, the engine is under the care of the Taylor Fire Department and will remain there (except for a brief stint in Plano) for their town’s 9/11 parade next month.    Meanwhile, folks enjoying the concert included Fred Aiello (in cowboy hat), 9-year-old Shelby Gehrig (upside down girl!) and Brian Dunn, toting daughter Ellie, 4,  on his capable shoulders.
