Formed in 1996 from the merger of the Acadian Pipes and Drums and Northern Border Caledonia, the Maine St. Andrew's Pipes and Drums proudly wear the Maine State Tartan. Designed in 1964, it is believed to be the oldest district tartan in the United States. Its colors include light blue for the sky, dark blue for the waters, dark green for the forests and a thin red line for the bloodline of the people.

In addition to playing, they will talk about their instruments, the music and their uniforms.
