Both bands at the line waiting to start.
There was a civilised starting time of 8.30 for the trip to the major championships at the Cowal Highland Games in Dunoon on the 28th of August. That’s a lot later than the usual 4.30 or 5am! It must have done the players a lot of good because they came home with a trophy after achieving a 7th place from a big line-up of bands. Well done everyone, including Pipe Sergeant Alistair McIntosh who was P/M at the event.
The band turns out at quite a number of charity events. On Friday the 3rd of September the Pipe Major played to welcome guests to the Perth 800 Charity Ball at the Concert Hall. A mini-band also performed as part of the entertainment on offer.
