Here's a video montage from Sunday.

You can see yours truly marching past around 7:11.

The coolest thing (to me) is when the LA Scots Pipe Band and the Marines band play together, which starts at around 11:00.

Here's our band on Sunday... we didn't do very well.

Look and sound great to me!

Well, Richard, we connected after a fashion. That was I who waved at you on the north side of the competition circle from my well-positioned spectator's chair on the south side. You could only manage an acknowledgement nod, having pipes in one hand and some sort of liquid refreshment in the other.

I enjoyed the band performance; they sounded quite good to me. I only heard the msr but I'm very fond of that march and reel. Very melodic tunes. When I was in Misty Isle we had along run with "Lexy" as our msr reel. Good stuff.

Best,

-John-

Only managed to see a few XMarkers on the athletics field...I made the local paper though, judging the professional athletes.

apropos of nothing....I made that Caber. Well, Mother Nature made the tree, but I cut it down, divided it into two parts and turned the bottom, big end into that caber. It's gratifying to see it still holding up a year later. It's a bit small for the Pro class, though.
