I was there on Saturday and spent a while watching the games. I'm assuming you were the fellow with the bright yellow dandelion on yer kilt?

That would be me glad u noticed it .

Enjoyed it as usual. My first time to play with the Bagpipe band I joined, Fort Worth Pipe and Drums. I'm a drummer and, I'll be honest here, I was not happy with my performance. The festival was great though, they had to make some last minute location changes and did a pretty good job.

As a spectator, all I can say is that I didn't notice. Everyone sounded great!

I was there on Saturday, met some XMarkers, and took a fair number of pictures. I'm rather busy with school this week, but I intend to make a lengthy post in the pics forum when I find the time.

As a participant, I'm glad to hear it.

Glad you came by!

You should have stuck around for the photos.

Sadly I was unable to make it to the games this year, as I am deployed to Iraq right now. I was there last year though (great time!) and I will be there again next year. My band (well, the band I play with) was there though (Sally's Garden) and they told me they had a wonderful time again this year. I believe we're going to make the Salado Highland Games a tradition to attend!

Excellent! What about the San Antonio Games?

Is that the group that plays at the bookstore on 410 (the one next to the Goodwill) on Sunday afternoons? I was there about a year ago and happened to talk to the lady that owns it, and mentioned to her that I play the mandolin. She mentioned a band that plays there on Sundays that I swear was called Sally's Garden.
