These two are of stuff a wee bit more "stereotypical" of my country. The pipe and drum massed bands are made up from representatives of eleven pipe and/or drum bands from all over Scotland, one of which recently came third at the World Championships in Glasgow!
The fella throwing his Mace over the high banner is a Pipe Major, enjoying their very own competition. This one was to throw the mace over the banner and catch it, without dropping it OR breaking step. He was closest, but no-one managed it; due, IMHO, to the banner causing them to "lose sight" of it on it's way down!
