Hold on to your seats for one of the most anticipated events of every highland games. Feel the thrill as the massed pipes and drums march onto the main stage at Lafarge Lake Park. It will be a sight, and sound you will not soon forget. From Scotland the Brave, to Amazing Grace, you'll hear the classics, plus our annual pipers' salute, "Highland Lassie?". This year we salute Chief Heather Jolley. It's a rousing and fitting end to our Highland Games. Winners in the Games piping, drumming and pipe band competitions are announced. And then hang on to your seats again as the massed pipes and drums march out of the amphitheater and for many, straight towards the beer garden.
