My wife & I had a fun day at the Chatham-Kent Highland Games in southwestern Ontario today. There were over 30 bands competing - 10 of them grade 1 and 2. Here's a couple of pictures...

The mass band at the opening ceremonies.

Me getting silly with the new Xmarks / Tewksbury kilt.

Blu, outstanding Hamish rendition.

It seems the building where the bands are massed looks familiar, just curious, what is it?

It's the Armories. This one was built in 1905. There are similar ones across Ontario. If I'm not mistaken the one in London Ontario was renovated and became part of a Hotel. The buildings are rather striking.
