The Schenectady Pipe Band is one of the oldest pipe bands in the USA. Formed in 1917 with suport of Clan MacRae and General Electric. General Electric guaranteed a job to the person chosen as pipe major. Isaac Riddell, a stone cutter in Barre, Vermont, was selected to start up the band and became its first pipe major and instructor in 1917. Riddell was a piper in the 92nd Regiment Gordon Highlanders of Aberdeen, Scotland, before coming to the United States, which is why the band wears the Gordon Highlanders' uniform.
