Last Saturday (1 April), the Knox Old Boys Pipe Band travelled to Bundanoon for the ‘Bundanoon is Brigadoon’ Highland Gathering. It is a huge event, with 25 pipe bands and thousands of spectators. It was great to be back, after last year’s gathering flooded out, and the two before that were COVID-cancelled. Having said that, our drum corps was struck down by COVID and had to sit out this year too. But the Band played on. The day started with some Scottish weather, but nothing could dampen our spirits. The weather soon fined up, more or less, for the rest of the day. We all enjoyed lots of piping, a barbecue lunch and plenty of entertainment befitting a highland gathering: the caber tossing and the lifting of the Bundanoon Stones are always crowd-pleasers. The Band is now preparing for a round of engagements for Anzac Day. Email Allan Watts for more details.
