by Anonymous on 2/2/13BI-LO Center - GreenvilleI can't think of enough superlatives to describe how wonderful this was. I hope they made enough off it to come back. Fantastic in every way. A real privilege to be able to attend.

The legendary pipes, drums and highland dancers of Scotland's Black Watch join forces with the Band of the Scots Guards for an evening celebrating the music of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. This performance with 70 people on stage will feature bagpipes, traditional military marches (on stage and in the aisles!), drum solos, Celtic dancing, and songs as famous as Londonderry Air, Colonel Bogey, Men of Harlech and Land of Hope and Glory. A spectacular evening of pageantry and excitement for the entire family!

We enjoyed this show very much. Could not ask for a better performance.
So proud to have heritage with such great music and brave military. And it was so nice of them to play the US' military songs, too, and acknowledge the vets in the audience!
Music was very good and impressive marching and uniforms. We had Good seats but did not get the view expected. Performed mostly to end of seating. Would like to have seen less of their backsides when stationary performing. Short 10 min intermission so we didn't go anywhere. Late show for weeknight (8-10) so anxious to get out and home when over. Would like to have seen offerings of PROGRAMS (Before show) and CDs but they mentioned but didn't see. Would not let us in until 1 hr before show. Should have had programs accessible then at each entrance to add to knowledge of show and CDs available there also before and after show. Would have made more enjoyable for us and profitable for them.
My dad and I really enjoyed the Black Watch and Band of the Scots Guards. It was a wonderful cultural experience, and the musicians were flawless! I would definitely recommend going to see them...especially since they travelled half way around the world to come play for us in Greenville, SC!
Amazing drum line performance. Highest quality musicians in the world (as evidenced by awards at the Edinburgh tattoo). Should perhaps be in a smaller venue though so that you can see their precision better. Announcer should, perhaps, explain the history of the dancers, and their dances, for those who are not familiar with Scotland's military history. Also needed to announce the soloists to give them proper credit.
This is the second time hearing the group. Greenville was a better venue than Charlotte. It was the best rendition of Amazing Grace I have ever heard.
rousing music and much pomp! No one does it like the Brits-
The show was excellent and had a great time. I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. Getting tickets online was easy and convenient.
The Black Watch and The Band of the Scots Guards gave a great performance on Tuesday, January 22; the pieces that were performed were varied and well-played. In addition to having the Pipe Band and the Band of the Scots Guard, the Highland Dancers added another good dimension to the performance. I would readily attend another performance.
