In 1950, the band adopted the traditional tartan of the Black Watch with pipers wearing the Royal Stewart tartan and drummers the darker Black Watch tartan. The Adirondack Pipes and Drums plays in parades, Scottish festivals and games, and other celebrations and special events throughout the Northeast. The band continues to promote traditional bagpipe music by offering instruction to students of all ages.
