PB Extravaganza March 16
On Saturday 16 March the four HB pipe Bands presented their music on Napier’s Sound Shell. For HB Caledonian and Lindisfarne this was a rehearsal for their National Pipe Band events in two weeks time in Dunedin. For us it was a chance to parade and play and enjoy pipe banding. Thanks to Ray and Petra for the photos.
