Glengarry Highland Games Nearing

The Glengarry Highland Games (Often called the Maxville Games after the town where they are held) are this weekend and the Grade 3 will be ready with their MSR. (A recording of the current MSR taken at the Fair Hill Games this year.)

Massive massed bands at Maxville Games.

These Canadian games, the largest in North America, provide the stiffest competition of the year by far. The best bands will be there from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Just about any music, food, drink or gift that is remotely Celtic can also be found there.

The band members will be driving up on Friday and spending the night in Cornwall Ontario, Canada assuming we can get across the border – the bridge we would normally take is closed (temporarily we hope). The competition is Saturday. We will stay the night in Cornwall again which will give us the evening to unwind, relax and enjoy the entertainment. Sunday we drive back and rest up before practice on Tuesday in preparation for Hunter Mountain two weeks later.
