hmmm, it’s kind of hard to find on the net, does anyone could suggest some pieces which is playing with whistle, bagpipe and marching drum together ? Thanks.
What kind of bagpipes? (There are more than 30 types)
What do you mean by marching drum? I have never seen a drum march… or a peanut stand, or a rubber band.
There is a video called “The Pipes, The Pipes Are Calling” that looks at piping in several countries. Southern France alone claims to have more than 150 types of bagpipes.
lkt, I know there are highland-type marching bands in Ireland, but I don’t know that they are much different from the ones in Scotland. Was there something that lead you to think there was some unique Irish form of marching band?

Kelly the Boy from Kilane, Wearing O’ the Green (on a Bb whistle/Fife), Scotland the Brave, Wings, and Minstrel Boy (Ab Whistle).
These are all common pipe marches I am assuming you mean The Great Highland Bagpipes some might be hard on whistle 
Have you seen the accordion marching bands that compete at All Ireland etc.? They march up and down a field with flags and things.
They also have Piobh Mhor (sp) which some call the Irish Warpipes. They are played in the Highland configuration because they are more available.
The whistle isn’t played with PM pipes because of volume, tuneing, and other issues.
You can draw from the Ulster whistle and lambeg tradition or from the Warpipe tradition to find a ton of marches. Both played with drums.
You can try http://www.kermit.co.uk/fifedrum/music.htm for whistle tunes from Ulster.
Try any of your favorite tune archives like http://www.thesession.org/ or http://www.geocities.com/Eureka/Park/7478/tunes.htm under march and you will find a wealth of tunes allready adapted to either instrument.
Now if you want snare accompanyment to Irish marches you’ll have to go to a highland drumming forum.

Oh, and then there is that French kind of piping with marching drums.
Bagad is it? Real rockin’ stuff.
Accordian marching bands? 
I can’t stand box players at the best of times, but a whole football field full of them? 
Schmenge Brothers’ heaven, I guess.

Better than the ‘Chimeleski Funtime Polka Band’ from the Iron Range in Minnesota…eeewgh! 
I wonder if this individual is thinking about ‘kiltie bands’… a combination of GHB pipe band and marching band? Hmmmm…
An E flat whistle (if you can tune it sharp) fits with the GHB and Irish War pipes.
Just finger A mixolodian (start on A, leave the G as is, don’t sharpen).
War pipes are usually tuned sharp of B flat, so you may have to trim some off the top of the whistle barrel to get in tune.
Actually GHBs are Bb 
I would know I also play them.
All GHBs I have heard in person were almost halfway between B and B flat. YMMV, I guess.
They are tuned to Bb, though some folks do not pay attention to pitch when they tune theirs.
Actually I have a CD of some Canadian bands and some Scottish bands, and the Scottish band is almost dead on B flat, but the Canadian bands were almost up to B.
The pipes of the GHB/fiddler/shuttlepipe player in our band (I forgot the brand name) is sharp of B flat if you tune thumb hole to be in tune with next to the bottom hole (pinkie up) and then tune the drones to what that ends up at.
I think they are actually sharper than when I first heard them in person in the 60s.
I knew someone in a brass band that played with a band at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and they had to tune as sharp as they could get their instruments to get pretty close to the bagpipes. He said, “Never again!”
Must’ve been the altitude. I am sure the tuning of GHBs varies from make to make (or player to player) but they are ‘supposed’ to be tuned to Bb. My set of Kintails are pretty spot on. I have rarely had to reposition the chanter reed to bring them into tune.
I have been told by various GHB band members that it starts out with one band at a competition tuning a touch higher than Bb to make themselves stand out, which leads to the next band tuning a bit sharper still, etc. etc. untill things get silly.
