| PIPE MAJOR Lt James VanBrederode: A 25 yr. veteran of the Gates Police Dept., was a founding member of the band in 1998 and subsequently became Pipe Major after mastering the nine notes on the chanter first!. Jim is the Patrol Commander of the Gates Police overseeing the day to day operations of the road patrol.
As Pipe Major, Jim enjoys putting together a performance with all the pomp and circumstance! "If you can't capture the attention of an audience in the first few minutes, you might as well stop and go home." "A performance, whether it is a funeral, wedding, or graduation ceremony, needs to be entertaining." Keeping it simple and elegant are his words of advice. "Also, a band is only as good as the people who are involved, you can have the best equipment, the nicest uniforms, but it is your people who make the band a success." Lt. VanBrederode is also the Treasurer of the Western New York Concerns of Police Survivors Chapter and volunteers his time assisting surviving families. 
| DRUM MAJOR Brian O'Connor: It was at the Rochester’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 2000, that my son Mike and I got acquainted with the Keystone Police Pipe and Drum Band. Soon after that, we where both totally involved in the band and attending as much of their functions as we could. Mike became a Piper and I was their Bass Drummer. Three years ago, the band approached me wanting me to be their Drum Major. With over 20 years as a Civil War Re-enactor, I thought it was because of my knowledge of military maneuvers and marching techniques that endeared me to them. I only found out later that it was because I‘m 6’ 9" and 275 pounds that I stood out and what better place to put me was in front of the Band. My experiences with the Band have been fantastic and have exceeded all of my expectations. I could not be prouder to be in front of an organization that continues to remember and honors those who have gone before. Let us not forget those who serve! Pipe Sergeant Dave Linder: was named pipe sergeant in 2009.

| DRUM SERGEANT Craig Henderberg: has been serving as the drum sergeant for the Gates Police Keystone Club Pipes and Drums almost as long as he has been a member of the band. After being thrust into the role of bass drummer at the 2003 Spencerport Fireman's Parade, Craig brushed up his marching skills while learning to play the Highland style snare. Since being elected drum sergeant, Craig has worked hard to recruit new drummers and educate our old ones to create a solid snare line. He also relies on his ever present swing tenor twins Mike and Dave and our bullpen of bass drummers to complete the bands percussion section. Through his hard work in the off-season, and through exemplary support from Drum Corporal Lance Duffy, the marching madness that is the Keystone's drum line helped to catapult the band to numerous first place finishes throughout the 2004 parade season. As a non-emergency worker member of the band Craig feels "No greater pride than to wear the Gates uniform anywhere in Monroe County and beyond." Whether honoring a fallen officer, remembering our veterans, entertaining a crowded parade route, or partying in the beer tent, He never forgets the mission of the band, and the honor that comes with being a part of it.  | | DRUM CORPORAL Michael Roche: is one of the tenor drummers, "the real swingers" of the drum line. He joined the band in 2001 after many months of practice. Back in the day, he was a part-time Police Officer with East Rochester P.D. and for 8 years was a part-time Deputy Sheriff with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. He has been a volunteer FF/EMT with the West Webster Fire District for 15 years and a past member (18 years) of Penfield Emergency Ambulance. All agencies, of course, will disavow any knowledge of his existence. He is the only current member of the band to have served in all 3 branches of Rochester’s only official Police/Fire/EMS band. Mike truly appreciates being a part of a band where the mission is more important than the individual. "It is true honor to be a part of the final salute to our fallen brothers and sisters in all of the public safety agencies". "No one is left behind, No one is ever forgotten."
