As pipers and drummers, our differences make us stronger. We all play a role in creating an environment where we feel empowered to bring our authentic selves to the circle. Because it’s only when every member feels they belong that we can rise to our full potential.

FOR OUR FALLEN.

Branding + Design by VAST.

Vast Design helped Wake and District represent who we are through a creative, strong and humble design which speaks volumes. The mark consists of the letters “F-O-F” making the shape of a shield. In the center is our checkered battenburg pattern worn by band members in our glengarry hats. The checkerboard pays tribute to the City of Chicago Police Department where one of our founding members served.

The mark represents everything Wake and District stands for, “For Our Fallen”.
