Friday, 5.5 Meeting—Washburn B

Welcome to the Topeka Police Department Pipe and Drum Corps

Former Topeka Police Chief James Brown urged the department to form a pipe and drum corps soon after he arrived from the Kansas City police department. The group formed in January 2015 and have performed in local parades and traveled as far as Washington, D.C. to perform during a ceremony at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. 
 
Friday's program is sure to get your heart pounding!
