Enjoy!
Why is there no schedule for the pipe bands EVERY YEAR???? Isn’t this one of the main reasons why we attend the festival, to see the pipe bands?? Stage bands are lovely, but how often do we get to see the pipe bands? Why does the ‘grand finale’ band only get to play occassionally? THEY ARE THE RICHMOND COMPETITION BAND! Shouldn’t we be be able to hear them play more through the festival? The majority of the time they play we always miss it because THERE IS NO SCHEDULE FOR THE PIPE BANDS!! What’s wrong with this picture? Pipe bands are Celtic! Isn’t this a Celtic festival? My kids leave disappointed EVERY year because we always end up missing their performances, because we never know when they are going to play! We can’t sit at the stage all day waiting.
Very disappointed festival attendee
We didn’t attend this year after my husband looked on line to find the schedule for the pipe bands and didn’t find a schedule for them. They were the main reason we would have attended.
