Cross Creek Pipes and Drums was founded in 1984 in Fayetteville, North Carolina by Bob Palmer and has continued for over 30 years with the hard work of dedicated volunteers from throughout the Cape Fear region. The band is comprised of people interested in learning, performing, and promoting the traditional and contemporary music for the Great Highland Bagpipe and Scottish Regimental Drums.
The Cross Creek Pipes and Drums are available to provide educational and entertaining performances for regional events. The band offers piping and drumming instruction to anyone interested, and actively seeks new members to continue the Pipe Band tradition.
The Tartan of the Carolinas
Since 1986, the Cross Creek Pipes & Drums have worn the Carolina Tartan. The Carolina Tartan is the official tartan for North and South Carolina.
“The basis for the Carolina Tartan design was taken from a pre-1800 sample of hard tartan in the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan, a forerunner of the Royal Stewart tartan.”
The tartan was designed in 1981 by Peter E. McDonald of Crieff, Scotland, then the curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum in Comrie, Scotland, and officially adopted by North Carolina in 1991.
