Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I saw the Black Watch Pipes and Drums once about thirty years ago in Washington D.C. It was a great show, but when it was nearly over the Black Watch assembled at one end of the large auditorium, and piping some slow tune, they began to march slowly toward the center. Suddenly, from behind some curtains at the opposite end, out comes the Marine Corps Band marching toward the Black Watch playing Stars and Stripes Forever! By the time they got to that part when the music builds up and then explodes, with the piccolo part floating over all that thundering brass, the Black Watch seemed almost not to be there at all.

Back around 1970 I saw the Pipes and Drums of the Black Watch at the Grandfather Mountain, Highland Games.

They were from New Zealand tho so not sure what connection they have to the real ones in Scotland.
