| LOCAL PIPER |
Here, as in many parts of Canada can be heard the sound of a piper..they say during the summer months in New Brunswick pipes can be heard and seen at the border to Nova Scotia from the Province of New Bruswick. Also the sounds of many pipers in a band of Pipes And Drums that can be quite stirring...They are seen on many special occasions ie.: Military Rememberence days and celebratory event .ie: St Patricks Day. , in areas, as where I live in Australia ,and many other English speaking countries also are represented by local Pipes and Drum bands Many Military regiments in the British Commonwealth of countries have their own bands of Scottish Pipes and drums. A lot of the famous Regimental bands can be see at world Military Tattoos especially the huge Military Tattoo every year held in Edinburgh Castle, in Edinburgh Scotland..My brother is a drummer in a local Scottish band which was recently invited to Edinburgh to participate with other famous Military Regimental bands ...famous bands such as The Black Watch, The Regimental Guards bands of the Queens Household Division (Scots Guards , Irish, Welch, Grenadier and Coldstreem Guards) and many of the Scottish Highland and Lowland Military Regiments..in this yearly event of marvelous military pageantry..Bands from every corner all over the world are invited to Edinburgh to participate..in this amazing annual event.that every year puts on a spectacular military pageant.
A Piper was once asked what was worn under his kilt ? !..and he answered "Nothing Madam"!, "Everything is in fine working order",. "thank you.".
Thank you Ruby for this another "Did you Know" card. I love them.. they are so informative.
