Trivia
The band wears the same tartan as the famous Muirhead and Sons Pipe Band; the original Muirheads number 1 uniforms were rescued from storage and donated to the band in the 1970s.
The band has very close ties with the City of Washington Pipe Band. Indeed, the COWPB was originally called "Denny and Dunipace" and only changed name to avoid a clash of names at a World Pipe Band Championships.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
