For those who have seen the show -- I had heard that there was some Highland Dance on the program -- true?

Thanks,

Yes -- the Highland Fling and the Sword Dance, to be exact.

I'm listening to the official tour CD even as I type this message.

I saw the BW and WG at the historic Fox Theatre in St. Louis; there were several kilts in the audience, and the St. Louis St. Andrew's Society and the local Highland Dance troupe were helping sell items in the lobby. I did not wear my kilt, since my friend Mark and I had made the 3-hour trip from Springfield and arrived right before the performance -- but I did wear my blue blazer with our St. Andrew's Society's emblem and my Lord Strathcona's Horse regimental tie, in keeping with the spirit of the evening!

If you do go to a performance, be prepared for some amazing piping and drumming, especially "Pogo's Salute", which is quite stirring. The combined bands numbers were especially good, but my favourite part is always the march off, when the band strikes up "The Black Bear"! ;)

I even got to talk to a couple of the "Jocks" in the lobby afterwards! :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Todd
