Oh, Ag, you had to know we couldn't let THAT one go by.
No. 1 pipeband in the world, 4 times, Simon Fraser University pipe band of
Abbotsford, B.C. will be here the 2nd weekend of June, for the Bellingham
Highland Games. No. 1 and no. 2 pipers in the world in that band.
SFU is in Burnaby, a 20 drive from downtown Vancouver.
I have seen and heard the SFU pipeband in the open air on their home turf
atop Burnaby Mountain. You would be much more impressed with the massed pipe
bands of the Black Watch for example playing on the ramparts of Edinburgh
Castle.
