Ed Snyder is one of the band’s original founding members and is responsible for the design of our uniform that we wear to this day. To say that Ed has made an impact on our band is an understatement. To honor his commitment to the band and all the good works he has done on behalf of the band, he has been made a Legacy Pipe Sergeant for life. Congratulations Ed on this great achievement!
