BAGPIPERS
From Knob Knowledge
The Citadel Pipe Band was established by General Mark W. Clark in 1955. The first director of the Pipe Band was Chief Warrant Officer Millard J. Crary, 1955-1960. He was succeeded by Ludovic J. Grant-Alexander, 1960-1978; Capt. Norval B. ("Sandy") Jones, U.S.M.C., 1978-2003; and Capt. Jim Dillahey, 2003- .
From 1956 until 1981, the bagpipers wore the Royal Stuart tartan. In 1981, the bagpipers wore The Citadel's own tartan. The bagpipers are depicted on a mural in the Daniel Library.
