Pipe Band Secretary, David Manson commented, �The Band is looking forward to the forthcoming trip and would like to thank everyone that has made it possible for us to attend. As the only band from the Highlands, and one of the two bands from Scotland participating in the parade, we really want to project a good image of our home county.�
