ILT City of Invercargill Highland Pipe Band - Winning, and Innovative, Street March - Timaru 2013 

whos still here in 2023?😬 by far the best👏🏼👏🏼 listened to it on repeat countless times! this also got me back into snare drumming🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Theee most bad ass pipes and drums video on the internet...I much have watched this 200 times over the past 10 years.

I keep coming back to listen to this. Simply brilliant! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

How can you dislike this? I have lost count on the times I have listened to this video!

I still comeback to this video after all these years... salute!

Excellent thank you from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK 🇬🇧

year after year I come back here...great performance.

Stunning!! My late father would have loved this to bits. I can see his big smile, dimples popping, eyes crinkling and twinkling, a foot tapping along. He always loved the people of New Zealand for their generosity and kindness to him and his fellow Army soldiers in WWII. A place he longed to go back to and visit. I thank you, New Zealand, for his care. I know he was profoundly grateful to you.

I adore this video. I must've watched it more times than anyone. Love from a Kiwi living in Tottenham, London. I left when I was three years old. Such brilliant ensemble playing. All credit to the band leader he must be one hell of a guy but in the end true team work! Respect.

Lovely to spot one of my former pupils on the front at the left hand side, great playing Alasdair!

Can't get enough of this march!

Absolutely brilliant. Don't know how many times I've watched this. Thought scottish bands were good but this is best I've heard.

One of the best medley choices of all time. They earned that grade advance!

hello from Canada. that's a mighty fine band you got there real swagger.

Something about the pipes always brings me to tears and this is definitely of my favorite tunes I've heard, so thankful for Irish and Scottish culture.

This is probably the best band to come out of NZ.

The only thing better than this superb pipe band is listening to this performance with the volume CRANKED THE HECK UP! Well done to all

This is amazing! I'm Mexican, nothing to do with Scotland, and this video always gives me an emotional overload. You are magnificent!

I've lost count the number of times I've listened to this March. Its perfect. I never tire of it!!!

Listen to this at least 10 times a month - since 2013.

"Calm before the Storm, Winnipeg Forger, Eric Stein".

Pipe bands are my favorite thing in the world.

Spot-on. Wish I'd known about my Scottish heritage when I was living all those years ago in Dunedin.

having lived in Timaru for many years... I can't think of a better thing to do in the Main St of Timaru!! As a Piper in Training... I'm blown away at how great they were!

who on god's green earth clicked dislike? This is an awesome display of composition and musical talent.

That pipe major is cool as ice! I love this tune!

Best Pipe band I ever heard.

Simply a fantastic rendering of Scottish pipe music , i love it from a Scot living in queensland Australia .

It`s soooo ..... funky .One of the best P`nD Parades ive ever seen

I keep coming back to watch this on a regular basis. As a piper myself (nearly 50 years) here in the UK I have to say in my opinion the performance, technical skill and presentation given here an absolute joy. Just watched the 2021 NZ Pipeband contest and it was great to see ILT City of Invercargill still doing well. Magic!

Yes, we produce some good pipers here in the South Island!

People around the world, you may not like the UK or it's western allies. But we get things done. Makes me proud to here my brothers up north play music like this. A show of cooperation, team work, skill & passion for excellence

iv watched this 100 times every time they break into Winnipeg Forger i get goosebumps .. as a drummer i love this si,ple but effectively powerful setting.. Piping is very strong and really holds the long notes well !!!

simply nobody could play it better or even walk like this band. damn this one took me to the most horrific places and made me challenge the darkness below for a fight .

Too many times i have lookes at this clip and love it better than than the last. The most wonderful music tolisten too. I just love it. Iam in love👍👌

I used to be a piper lo these many years ago, and this was a joy to watch. What a spot on band, and I really really like their music. Thanks!

Nice... I really like the Drum Majors strut love it!!

STILL LISTENING to this day. I haven’t heard anything that moves my heart quite like this. I am just an observer and roots.

new song to my ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First class pipe band. Spectacular very scottish style flavoured tunes and great street marching!... Love the depth and omnipresent sound of the Bass. Very well arranged march with only three tunes. Thanks for sharing

I watched these guys recently at the 2017 street march, but this performance still shines above anything I've heard

shiver on my spine.. tear in my eye

Incredible performance. So powerful ! to the beginnig until the end. But very surprise with the way of the Drone Major ! Vive la Nouvelle-Zélande ! Vive invercargill highland Pipe Band !

still listen to it from time to time

Awesome and playing continuously for all that time shows a really strong pipe band. I wouldn't have that kind of strength (maybe cuz I am 70). I play in the New Hampshire Pipes and Drums band and I thought we were good. After seeing this we have a new goal to try and get to! Thanks for posting.

I keep watching this and over 7 minutes of continuous piping! And I thought 4 minutes of competition tunes was pretty good. Kudos again to you guys! Nice marching. All in line on the wheels too! Good video to show that. Nice to see classy work. Thanks for posting. Gives me the chills.

LOVE THE INTRO!!!

The 'Street March' is seperate contest Uncle Bob added on to the weekend of the NZ National Pipe Band Championships (MSR/Medley) and has huge public appeal. It is also included in many regional contests leading up to the National champs. All bands parade down the centre, or High Street, of the town/city where the contest is held and the public get out, support it and love it. They get to see all bands playing close up and marching which seems to appeal. Bands can play whatever they want to.

I enjoyed this playing so much,ACE. Pete Law x Royal Marines Band. H.M Royal Yacht Britannia

Great camera work as well as the players themselves Thanks all round!

I love this I watched this more then any thing els on RU-vid my favorite video ever and I’m a drummer in the bagpipes as well Well done

The bagpipers are just wonderful ! It is magic ritual. Thank you very much !

"These guys are amazing - they rock!" - Looking forward to our competition this weekend.

I am Scotland and I am learning the bagpipes. I just love the sound

One of my favorites, thank you for posting this. From BC Canada

I love listening to Pipes and drums it always reminds me being in Scotland with family at the cowal game awesome

I absolutely love this, and was especially pleased to hear 'Winnipeg Forger' - great band and great sound.

I absolutely love this!!!! The band is fantastic and the choice of tunes is spot on. I wouldn't even guess in telling you how many times I have watched this video. Is the band Grade 1 yet?

I love all bag pipes playing. The more the better. Play some more.

Solemn, evocative, beautiful. The art and discipline of a true pipe band. Many thanks indeed!

This is absolutely beautiful!!

From all bagpipe music that i have heard this march is unbeleiveable

And i will say it for the million time no band could beat this ever , damn i have been to dark haunted lonely places while this shouting real high asking for any damn trouble makers out there. From arab gulf

oh boy this band is never an ending story with this march , their walk like an afternoon lions walk . easy but confident n firm .

As a scot it's nice to see and hear pipes. I love it. It makes me feel at home

the pipe major of scottish power pipe band chris armstrong is in the front rank next too the pipe major if anybody noticed

I’ve watched this several times. Very nicely done!

awesome. reminds me of my childhood, older brother and sister were pipers

Ich kann nicht genug davon bekommen 👍👍👍👍

Great performance. Familiar face in the the front row next to the PM?

Awsome sound well played I could listen to your band all day fantastic work guys 👍👍👍👍🎵🎵🎵🎵

0.25 - The collective drone just before the pipes begin sounds like a giant bee hive getting ready to come out for a fight, which is why the English regarded them as a weapon of war in the battles with Highland clans.

Good videography - nice and smooth ! Well played by the band - I have a DVD of one of your past concerts (given to me when I visited Aus. in 2009): very entertaining - I am a fan !

I never tire of watching this, just so inspiring

Who filmed this it's so smooth and perfect sound.

I just love listening to the bagpipes n Highland Band was excellent.

Innovative ... great medley and execution ... bravo 👏👏

Imagine a row of pipers in full view of the enemy blaring this while Scottish troops charge forward. That would be a site to see!

Calm Before the Storm is one of the most unique and understand rated pipe band songs. The drum intro is seemingly non traditional. That's why I like it!

Yes! Super, really liked your clip ! Music is the prime invention of our species isn't it? I'm so thankful to be a musician!

Great Stuff. Never ever forget your beginnings or your tribe. Fantastic !!!

Age 15, I went to Glendora High School where I was a tenor drummer in a marching band that was preceded by a pair of pipers with whom the massed bandgladly played Scotland the Brave, thrilling California audiences in doing so. I went on in my last two years of high school to be Drum Major, dressed in kilt, sporran, doublet, feather bonnet and guiding the band with my mace; had the time of my life, becoming State Champ leading California's best, the Glendora Tartan Band & Plaid Piper Drill Team

Wonderful Piping ,n Drumming, superb tunes.👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Absolutely wonderful. Damn, I don't even have words for how this hits.

"Calm before the Storm, Winnipeg Forger, Eric Stein".

That's quite a fine band, greetings from Buffalo, well done from a former street piper. I want to know how I can like this. again.

Indeed very innovative! I would like to see this in the Flanders in Belgium! The sound is great!Go on like this people, very good!
