Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Manchester Pipe Band" in English language version.
The Manchester Pipe Band is the second-oldest pipe band in continuous existence in the United States -- and one of four in Manchester. As the story goes, it began 'with 20 students and a dream in those dark days prior to World War I.' When Pipe Major Alex Scot and the Holyoke Pipe Band paid a visit to Manchester in 1913, their traditional bagpipe music set the imaginations of this area's Celtic population on fire.
