    You don't see pipe bands very often here in the States being so well turned-out in Full Dress like that.

    The top band is excellent. Edmonton Police Service? It's not just acquiring the kit but wearing it all properly and having good marching and deportment. I don't know if I've ever seen a band in the USA look that nice.

    The second band appears to be in a Highland version of the RCMP uniform.

    EDIT: here they are

    It's the RCMP Regimental Pipes And Drums Of Alberta.

    There appear to be several RCMP Pipes & Drums scattered throughout the nation.
