Black Water Pipe Band

Orillia Festival

On Saturday, July 16th, Blackwater attended the Orillia Scottish Festival. The day was extremely hot and humid, and we had to do a parade, 2 massed bands, and compete! Although we are not officially competing this year, we decided to give it a whirl at Orillia. With a slightly modified Hell's Kitchen Medley (sans Hell's Kitchen) we placed First in the band competition! We also won the Best Parade Band! Dave and Kevin also placed first and third in the Open Solo Piper competition. Congrats Blackwaterians!

A big thank you to all the bands for coming out on a horrifyingly hot day, and making us feel welcome at the Orillia Festival. By the way, I've completely forgotten who won 2nd and 3rd place. Does anyone remember?

The photos are courtesy of Olivia. She managed to document most of the day through photographs and video, and I've selected a few for your viewing pleasure! The photo to the left is first photo in the gallery. Videos will be uploaded soon.
