Title: Bands of the Irish Guards / The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders

OK. I just saw this performance last night at Jones Hall in Houston. I must say it was awesome. The band combined with the pipes just blew me away. They played the National Anthem and just about the entire audience was singing and singing well. Major Goosebumps.
The marches and jigs were flawless.
I highly recommend seeing this concert.

I searched around and I found tons of websites for the concert halls that they are appearing at and then the actual military ran sites. I'll look a little more. Trust me it is worth the effort.

OK the first link is to a short list of tour dates and the second is the military website. They do have a facebook page.
