The band performs privately, publicly, and competes across North America (G3, G4 and G5). We take great pride in all we have accomplished and realize there is always a higher level of excellence to be achieved. We strive to be humble and grateful for our members, our collective talents, our hard work, and the opportunities we have to perform and grow.
MISSION.

Today, the Mission continues to serve as our foundation and inspirational goal for our members, families, friends and fans around the world. It guides our day-to-day progress and reminds us our efforts are woven into the lives of others. FOR OUR FALLEN is everything we stand for.

#WhyMackay here.
“One of the hardest things we have to deal with in our lives is showing up when we don’t want to.” This statement captures a fundamental aspect of pipe band life—one built on commitment, discipline, and resilience. It speaks to the challenge of facing responsibilities, obligations, and tasks even when motivation is low. It’s about all of us. We wear the same uniform, play the same tunes, and stand together as one band. Whether on parade, in competition, or at a pub gig, we show up for each other—and that’s what makes us strong.
FOR OUR FALLEN.
Branding + Design by VAST.
Vast Design helped Wake and District represent who we are through a creative, strong and humble design which speaks volumes. The mark consists of the letters “F-O-F” making the shape of a shield. In the center is our checkered battenburg pattern worn by band members in our glengarry hats. The checkerboard pays tribute to the City of Chicago Police Department where one of our founding members served.
The mark represents everything Wake and District stands for, “For Our Fallen”.
PARTNERSHIPS.
Partnerships are formed between a number of individuals, agencies or organizations with a shared interest. There is usually an overarching purpose to work together on a range of specific objectives. Wake & District is proud of all of our partnerships established over the years who support our mission to honor our fallen comrades and promote cultural heritage and enrich our community by providing traditional Bagpipe and Drum music.
While our supporters do include all of our family, friends and co-workers — we would like to point out just a few organizations who continue to support our aims and objectives.
