Pipe Band performs at tattoo
BY PATTY KNIGHT
Recently, Brussels’ own Legion
Pipe Band was invited to the first
annual Clinton Pipes and Drums
Tattoo.
The attending bands besides
Brussels were: the host band: the
Clinton Legion Pipe Band; The
Pip es and Drums of the Forrest
City (London); The Petrolia Pipes
and Drums; The Bay City Pipes and
Drums and the Seaforth All-Girls
Marching Band.
The grandstand at the Clinton
Raceway was jam-packed with
some spectators having to stand on
the ground. It was obvious the
crowd was anxious to see the many

bands play together as one. The
band members were also as
anxious if not more!
The forming of the mass bands
and organizing began at 7:15 p.m.
with show time being 8:00 p.m.
Each band was lined up in single
file beside each other. Together
the many bands, now as one,
marched down the race track in
front of the grandstand where both
the American and Canadian An
thems were sung by a member of
the Clinton Legion Pipe Band and
opening speeches were heard.
The mass band marched down the
track again and then each band
played separately while putting all
their efforts into their own part of

the show.
The crowd was very happily
entertained as standing ovations,
whistles, and shouts from the
spectators were given to each band
as they played as well as the mass
band.
After each band played they all
formed up again at the end of the
track and marched down in front of
the grandstand playing some more
exciting but traditional Scottish
tunes. “AmazingGrace” was then
played by all the pipers and the
spotlight was put on a lone piper
who played the beautiful song
again.
The mass band then marched
down the track again and around
into the Clinton Arena where all
138 men and women of all ages
gathered into a huge circle to finish
the tune for the finale.
A dance followed as all the bands
and spectators enjoyed the night
with some unexpected intermis
sions from some ba nds who still
wanted to play and play they did
with many intermissions occuring
throughout the night.
It’s an honour to be in the
Brussels Legion Pipe Band and it
was an honour to take part in this
non-competitive event. It was an
exciting and overwhelming exper-
ience for me as I met many new
friends and had a fantastic time. -
I would like to thank the Clinton
Legion Pipe Band and all who took
part in the organization of this
successful event and I can’t wait
until next year.
