2024 Victoria BC Flashmob
Each year the CanScots Regiment Pipes and Drums in Victoria BC leads local members from colleague bands in a fundraising flashmob. Victoria Hospice recieved the donations this year. Saanich Peninsula Pipe Band was there of course with friends from 443 Squadron (Maritime Helicopters) Pipes and Drums, and Greater Victoria Police Pipes and Drums. We gathered in the rain (well at least it wasn't snowing!) to tune then grouped together outside the Irish Times pub to enthralled shoppers and visitors to Victoria. It was a big sound with 19 pipers and 6 drummers, and we even had a brave dancer who also collected donations. The kind management of Murchie's Tea and Coffee, and Irish Times let us in for a quick set, startle the patrons and be on our way! Big thanks to the participants and their families for putting up with rain and parking for a great cause, especially at this time of year.
