Rose Bowl Practice July 28

Our July 28 rehearsal will be held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.  This will be our final practice before Scotland.  If you'd like to come and have a listen, feel free!  We'll be rehearsing in the parking lot near the Kidspace Museum from 7 p.m. until 9:30.  It shouldn't be hard to find us...just listen for the sound of the pipes!  Or look for a group of people wearing matching t-shirts courtesy of the World Pipe Band Championships.

Glasgow School of Art Performance, Monday Aug 8!

Exciting news as we prepare for our trip to Scotland.  We will be performing at the Glasgow School of Art at 4 p.m. on Monday, August 8!  The Glasgow School of Art buildings were designed by the famous architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh.  One of the stained glass windows he designed within the school contains the motif which has become our logo.

Mackintosh is considered to be one of the fathers of the Arts & Crafts movement, which made its way to Pasadena, California, where there are many Craftsman Style homes.
