My brother's (Piperdown) and my pipe band, the Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band, were recently in China to attend the 13th Beijing International Tourism Festival. Our band participated in the opening ceremony and parade and the closing ceremony. We were also honoured to the first pipe band to be invited to play on the Great Wall of China.
Between performing, touring, shopping, eating and drinking, we had a great time.
