The Caledonian Club of San Francisco, which produces the Scottish Games, also sponsors the Prince Charles (Caledonian Club of San Francisco) Pipe Band, which competes as a Grade 3 band and are featured in this recording. The players in this band range in age from 13 to adult. This is the next generation of pipers and drummers, and ensures a continual flow of Scottish musicians for future performances and competitions. On August 16, 2003, this band won the Grade 3 World Championship in Glasgow. Our Scottish Gathering and Games hold pipe band competitions on Saturday and Sunday. Pipe bands compete with other bands in their grade. A Grade 3 pipe band, for example, will compete with other Grade 3 bands, not with Grade 4 bands. This recording features all of the Grade 3 and 4 bands that competed at the 148th annual Scottish Games.
