After roughly 7months of practicing and preparing Chris finally was ready to be kilted with the Pierce County Firefighter’s Pipes & Drums this weekend at the Seattle Highland Games. A member is able to be kilted after they show proficiency in the core set of tunes (8 tunes) the band plays. Then at your first event playing with the band you go through a kilting ceremony where you are expected to go from non-traditional kilt wearing to traditional kilt wearing (watch the video it will make more sense).
The whole family made the trek up to Enumclaw for the games, it was a really good time. Hayden soaked in all the culture and excitement getting to watch her Daddy play with his friends. Here are a few pictures and a small video from the weekend.
