It's time for Southern California's biggest Highland Games, or as they now style it

Scottish Fest 2016

The 84th Annual Scottish & Celtic Festival

Presented by The United Scottish Society of Southern California

which we pipe band people simply call "Costa Mesa".

I'm sure a number of X Markers will be going! I hope to see you there!

I'll be playing all weekend with The Long Beach Pipe Band (formerly The Long Beach Fire Department Pipe Band).

We wear the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan.

I'll ne there with the whole family. Who else is coming?

**Calico** · 26th May 16, 01:31 PM

We'll be there!

**MacCathail** · 26th May 16, 02:18 PM

We shall be there dividing time between the RSCDS and the pipe band competitions.

Good luck to Long Beach in the comps, Richard.

Best,

-John-

Thanks!

I used to be an avid RSCDS member... brings back fond memories!

See you all there!

I'll be there both days on the athletics field, judging the pros. Can't miss me; look for the hat.

with most of the family although Cameron will probably not throw because he has a small tear of the rotor cuff. It is also heidi's last game here as she is moving to Boston to work for the national parks on sunday. I'll be shooting the athletics most of the weekend.

We will be there both days. Saturday wee grand daughter will be with us in her wee kilt. Looking forward to the weekend!

**YOJiMBO20** · 27th May 16, 11:00 PM

I'll be there competing with the Cameron Highlanders in the grade 4 band both days, as well as solo piping Saturday morning.

Good idea to post a photo AZWildcat, so we can recognise each other!

I'm going to be dressed pretty much like this (on the right) except we've switched to longsleeved white shirts

By the way AZWildcat a neighbour's son went to U of A on a full basketball scholarship. Brilliant kid, more interested in front-office stuff, got a Masters in Sports Accounting and now works in the front office of one of the teams there- sorry I can't remember- I think the Arizona Cardinals. I know he did a stint with the Diamondbacks too.
