Well, there is a West Point pipeband and
"In January 2003, the 91st Division Band was the only Army Reserve Band in the United States to be mobilized as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, where it performed as an active duty band for ten months before demobilization in November to support military functions and perform for the civilian sector in various capacities. It was the first time in 60 years that the 91st Division Band was an active duty band in time of war– and the first time in memory that the Army had paid, full-time pipers on its rolls.'
