Black Watch 2016 North American tour

[OC Richard]

Yes it's all good!

But I do have a special affection for The Black Watch.

I'm assuming that the Black Watch's military duties have made it impossible for their Pipes & Drums to go on a lengthy tour like that.

Just to get in the mood, here's the Pipes & Drums of The Scots Guards in Full Dress, just as they will probably appear for that tour

Great picture, thanks for sharing!

I hope that in the future The Black Watch will be able to make the tour again!

In an off topic moment, OC Richard, is there an online recording/youtube video of the concert you mentioned in another thread that you piped for? Thanks!

I haven't seen anything from this year, but somebody kindly posted on FaceBook a video from last year's concert, which I've just now put on my FaceBook page.

See if this link works for you:

(If you do go to my page, you may wonder about the vintage photo at the top. That was taken around 1943 and shows l-r my father CC Cook in his Boy Scout uniform, my uncle McKinley H Cook Jr KIA Germany 1945, and my grandfather McKinley H Cook Sr WIA France 1918 silver star purple heart.)

Your post got me searching and I found that they will be performing in San Antonio, Texas on Feb.17 and in Austin on Feb.18. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
