Celtic Battle of the Bands Finally in Ionia, Michigan, USA

[djweso]

Was it the Celtic Battle of the Bands or the Battle of the Celtic bands? In a battle of Celtic bands, different celtic bands would compete against each other, but in a Celtic battle of bands, any kind of band could compete, but it would be to the death and they would take heads as trophies. I'd like to see that.

Well it was billed as the second but in reality it was the first. But that's ok, cause I didn't want to get blood on my kilt that day anyway.

I used to drive by Ionia all the time going between Grand Rapids and Lansing. I was kind of hoping I might recognize someone in the photos but no luck. You cut the head off the piper in one of the pics. It looks like it wa a good day for music.

Actually his head isn't cut off in that pic, its just how Flickr makes it look. Here is the pic:


There is a picture of the pipe band that was there, here.

Oh and one of my daughter dancing and I dancing .

I didn't take the second two, so I can't post them directly.
