In the event of a fallen public servant, pipes and drums bands from across the state gather to pay tribute at the funeral by playing a common repertoire of music. Georgetown Fire Department Pipes and Drums provide the attendees with elite instruction as part of their mission statement.

The band has a fund established with the Chisholm Trail Communities Foundation to accept tax deductible donations to help pay for instruments, equipment, and uniforms.
