一般而言，只要聽到愛爾蘭傳統，我們就會馬上聯想到小妖精、酢醬草、聖派翠剋日及吉格舞，但您知道風笛樂團也是愛爾蘭文化中的重大項目嗎？照片中的小男孩是柏根管樂團的一分子，而這個樂團則位於新澤西州柏根郡(Bergen
County)內。
管樂團是由風笛手及鼓手所組成的傳統蘇格蘭或愛爾蘭音樂團體；風笛是一種風樂器，即其空氣來源是由袋子供應；管樂團內的每位成員都會穿上裙長及膝的短裙或圖案為格子狀的裙子，這是蘇格蘭或愛爾蘭的傳統男用短裙。
管樂團是新澤西境內的愛爾蘭籍美國人的傳統；愛爾蘭人是新澤西州內的第二大種族，他們的祖先大批遷居美國，尤以19世紀時最盛；管樂團是住在新澤西的愛爾蘭籍美國人延續他們文化的方法之一。
Leprechauns, shamrocks, St. Patrick's Day, and jigs -- these are the things we usually think of first when it comes to Irish traditions. But did you know that bagpipe bands are also a big part of Irish culture? The boy in the photo is part of the Bergen pipe band in Bergen County, New Jersey.
A pipe band is a traditional Scottish or Irish musical group of bagpipers and drummers. A bagpipe is a wind instrument that gets its air supply through a bag. Every member of a pipe band wears a kilt, a knee-length tartan, or plaid skirt, traditionally worn by Scottish or Irish men.
Pipe bands are a tradition for Irish Americans in New Jersey. The Irish are the second largest ethnic group in this state. Their ancestors came in large numbers, especially during the 19th century. Pipe bands are one way Irish Americans in New Jersey keep their culture alive.
