Pipes and Drums Thoroughly Defeats Navy

The USCC Pipes and Drums, along with the West Point Celtic Dancers participated in the 2017 Army-Navy Battle of the Pipe Bands and Dance Competition in Philadelphia, PA. The Pipes and Drums thoroughly defeated the Naval Academy's Pipes and Drums in all three judged categories (Piping, Drumming, and Ensemble) and regained the coveted Battle of the Pipe Bands trophy. Though they were unable to secure a victory over Navy, the Celtic Dancers performed to an exceptionally high level in highland dance and showed a great level of improvement over recent years. The following day, the group gallantly led the Army Football team out of the tunnel and onto the fields of friendly strife and to an extraordinary victory over Navy.
