The music of the bagpipe virtually symbolizes music at the Highland Games.

Listen as bands and soloists warm up all around McPherson's Lakeside Park. Close your eyes and imagine you're in Scotland.

Thrill to "Scotland the Brave" and "Amazing Grace" played on the Great Highland Bagpipe!

Can you identify the tartans worn by the various pipe bands?  Pipe Major Ty Kaufman leads the City of McPherson Pipe Band.  The band wears kilts in the Red Macpherson tartan.  Lonnie Liljegren is the Pipe Major McPherson Youth Pipes and Drums.

A modern set of Great Highland Bagpipes has a bag, a chanter, a blowpipe, two tenor drones, and one bass drone.
