The sound of the Drums & Pipes marked the
passage of time for the Regiment. Below are listed the various
tunes and how/when they were used. While we'd love to provide you
with sound clips of these tunes, copyright violations are not part of
our plans for this site (well...perhaps not such extensive violations).
If, though, you would like to hear the Regimental March, click on the
