Considering the reality of what's going on in the UK even from this recent article, "Mass immigration has left Britain 'unrecognisable', says Nigel Farage. Who's going to play the Pipes and Drums of Scotland??

Saw them perform along with another British band (possible Coldstream Guards) in a touring production back in the 60s.

Very impressive — especially since it was performed indoors. The sound was amazing!

I love the bagpipes..

I was fortunate to walk through Hagley Park in Christchurch New Zealand in 2008 and find that there were bands warming up in preparation for a big contest..

I stayed and got to listen to the program that afternoon...

It was great...

I hadn’t heard a band in years...

I gather they are called the black watch because of the black they wear? And what is “watch” supposed to mean?

Would any of you fine gentlemen know where I might find out where pipe bands might play in the area of Washington, D.C.? My young son, the Marine referenced in my tag line, has become quite interested in his Scottish heritage. He has a correct kilt from Kinloch Anderson and I’m working on getting him accessories, but sadly he was not able to get leave to go to the Alexandria Scottish Walk this year. It would give him a great thrill to see a pipe band, however, or anything Scottish. Ideas welcome. He deserves to have anything he wants in this line.

There is a scene at the end of the movie Amazing Grace in which a pipe regiment plays the hymn on the lawn in front of, I think, Westminster Cathedral. It absolutely wiped me out -- reduced to tears in the movie theater. Highly recommend the movie on many levels.

I really needed this, Conor! Thanks!

One of my nieces just got back from a pipe competition in LA at the Queen Mary, and though I haven’t gotten the details, she did a good job.

(She also played the dirges at her grandmother’s burial in April of last year.)

Anyway, thanks again!
