The Massed Pipes and Drums were ALL Canadian and Australian Ground Defense forces. I was there . The Drum Major on Parade was Christopher Reeser and his contingent of the 48th Highlanders of Toronto, the Canadian Air force and many others KUDOS .

Actually the Australians were a Boys school "Scotch College P&D" and there were two US bands Tidewater P&D and the City of Richmond.

It was not Australian ground Defence! They were Scotch college. Also Tidewater pipes and drums was an American pipe band. 48th, RHFC and 8 wing trenton were part of the CF contingent.

Oops..I forgot the Aussies---Scotch College of Pipers ..excellent . Didn't see the Tidewater Band nor the Valley Forge (Pa.) Highlanders on the floor.This was a Composite Band . Met P.M. Lain post show.. shook hands and will meet him in Hamilton., Ont-- I loved how they snuck in Maple Leaf Forever. So, me and the misses -sang the verse. The looks on the people  If anyone saw two Maple Leaf flags being waved--it was us.
