War of 1812 Washington falls...

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 17:36:28 GMT

For all those people who wanted to see the paintings of the British Capturing Washington D.C. in 1814 (war of 1812). Both are the Brits burning down the white house. Apparently they also set fire the rest of the capitol. In one pic, the White house is on fire, and the Americans are scrambling troops in the front to defend the burning building (pretty useless lol)

Black Watch Competition Band!

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 05:29:03 GMT

Its that time of year. Booze, bagpipes, highland dancers. Need I say more!!! Im glad to hear the Watch finally competing this year. Even more so that "they who shalt not be named" are not competing with us. Maybe cause their not Black Watch, or maybe theyve lost their way. Either way backstabbers and alike arent gonna be wearing the uniform. Thats a fitting end isnt it?

In other news, were sounding great. After a week at the St Andrew's College of Piping and Drumming, weve got our tone up!! New tricks here and there and new reeds! Just to show those who think we sound bad guess again. Canada day we sounded grade 3. No doubt about it!

Lastly BOOOOOOO!!! on Portugual for beating England...

Black Watch Slaps City Hall in the Face...

Tue, 09 May 2006 20:13:56 GMT

Last Sunday we stepped off for our annual church parade. Our C.O. MacKay told the police officer we were marching on sherbrooke. The right turn was ordered and we struck in with the 3/4 marches. Later that day we found out city hall was all upset. Well too fucking bad for you. Last time I checked this parade is made up of combatants, war heros and alike. Its not like the gay parade where men and woman put on a rated R show while children are watching. LOL!!! Further that weve been marching the route for 74 years passing historical regimental locations. Either way, city hall asked the police who gave the ok to break the permit. They havent answered back since.

The Maple Leaf Forever!!!!

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 23:03:08 GMT

Lyrics to Canada's Forgotten Anthem:

(Not Forgotten by our Military though!)

In days of yore, from Britain's shore
Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came
And planted firm Britania's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
There may it wave, our boast and pride
And join in love together
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
The maple leaf forever.

   Chorus
   The maple leaf, our emblem dear
   The maple leaf forever
   God save our King and heaven bless
   The maple leaf forever.

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane
Our brave fathers side by side
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear
Firmly stood and nobly died
And those dear rights which they maintained
We swear to yield them never
Our watchword ever more shall be
The maple leaf forever.

Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound
May peace forever be our lot
And plenteous store abound.
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever
And flourish green o'er freedom's home
The maple leaf forever.

O Canada!

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 04:44:01 GMT

Lyrics to Canada's Anthem:

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love thou dost in us command.
We see thee rising fair, dear land,
The True North, strong and free;
And stand on guard, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.

Refrain
O Canada! O Canada!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western Sea,
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!

O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise,
To keep thee steadfast through the years
From East to Western Sea,
Our own beloved native land!
Our True North, strong and free!

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion within thy loving care;
Help us to find, O God, in thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.

Omega Drone Reeds

Sun, 08 May 2005 00:12:59 GMT

When I first found out about omega drone reeds, I was excited. They sounded like the best reeds out there... Little did I know that 75 percent of the people that got them, didnt know how to use them. I asked for help, but even the grade one pipers couldnt help me. So here I am stuck with these crappy reeds.

If you like reeds for durability, these will beat anything out there... But you gotta figure out how to use them first. (not for begginner pipers).

These reeds make a metal humming sound thats very distinctive. When I first got mine going, it sounded like a chevy starting up. If you got em, everyone will know its you. Their louder than most reeds, and are made of metal parts, and a very durable tougue. If you get these set, theyll never have to be touched again, ever!

Price range: $125-$180 CAN.
