    Costa Mesa Games 2011 photos

    Well it was cold and raining early Sunday morning- I drove through rain my entire short drive to the Games- but the rain stopped and by noon it was brilliantly sunny and a perfect temperature.

    I spent the whole time listening to solo and band piping, save for listening to the Fife & Drum group.

    Solos in the morning: Richard King of the LA Scots



    (the flag below the US flag is our state flag, having a bear, a red star, and the words California Republic)

    LA Scots performing for the crowd at noon- the red-haired girl likes it!



    Then the Los Angeles Fifes & Drums played. They told me that on Saturday they had their whole fife section but only two of them could make it on Sunday! The drummers are mostly seasoned Pipe Band guys who decided to get into Revolutionary War drumming. They made their own drums. As you can see, one of the drummers was doing double duty that day.



    Now the band competition! The Edmonton Boys travelled quite a distance to get here






    From the Phoenix Arizona area, Mesa Caledonian



    Glendora High School, a very impressive-sounding young band



    The University of California Riverside band in their bespoke tartan



    and the Pacific Coast Highlanders, in Hunting Thompson
