The Boston Police Gaelic Column of Pipes and Drums is setting up their annual St. Patrick's Day Season Fundraiser Event at the CabbyShack, and it's set to kick off Thursday at 6 PM, chock-full of live Irish music, raucous raffles, and the thunderous sounds of pipes and drums. Comprised of Boston's finest, the Gaelic Column not only includes Boston Police Officers but also full-time and retired Law Enforcement Officers from multiple departments, including those who serve Plymouth, according to the Plymouth Police Departmen.
Primarily known for their solemn role in playing at the funerals of fallen police officers, these officers have often been called upon by the Plymouth PD and never failed to show. The beats of their drums and the chill-inducing skirl of their bagpipes have echoed at police academy graduations, military funerals, and numerous charity fundraisers, stitching a bond of tradition and respect through the fabric of New England’s community events.
For those ready to revel in some St. Paddy's spirit and support local law enforcement, the event promises not just auditory and visual treats but also tangible ones with Boston Police Gaelic Column T-shirts up for grabs. All proceeds from the event are earmarked for a good cause – they will go towards new band uniforms, travel expenses, musical tuition, and instrumental upgrades for the band, as cited by the Plymouth Police Department.
