A video montage by Sherry Morrison of the Bushmills Irish Pipers Pipe Band of San Francisco Grade 3 MSR Competition at the Queen Mary Highland Games, Long Beach, CA.
Uniforms and styles change over years. We prefer to be a bit more progressive. 38 pipe bands in the Republic of Ireland are wearing Glens. A Caubeen has not been seen since the 1970's, even then, most wore the #1 dress uniform till the 1980's (feather bonnet, tunic, horse hair sporrans).
The Saffron Kilt and caubeen are gone and with them and I'm sad Bill Cathro, the McSwan Brothers, Joey Nigro,Paddy O'Shea, Danny Healy, Billy Driscoll and Bill Bloom.
Good men all. I'll not forget them. The Bushmill's have a great sound ! Best Wishes for continued success.
