The judges are busy tallying the points. Will the Houston Highlanders' tartan affect Bob Richardson's decision?



Now they're conferring to determine the winner. At least, I assume that's what they're doing.



Congratulating each other after the awards are given. The results were:

3rd: Houston Highlanders
2nd: North Texas Caledonian Pipes & Drums
1st: Bayou City Pipes and Drums

The Houston Highlanders came in second place for drumming, however. If I overheard correctly, they also got high marks for their uniforms.

I asked one of the Houston Highlanders what tunes they performed. (Because the Caledonians performed one of the same tunes in their set, I mistakenly assumed they all performed the exact same set.) I wrote them down on a piece of paper—the same piece of paper I noted down the Breadalbane Fencibles tartan thread count on.
