Pipefest Global Challenge
This year, Pipefest will hold a Pipefest 2010 in Edinburgh attempting to break the World record again, and it also calls for a Pipefest Global Challenge, hoping people in other cities will organise regional Pipefests on the same day as Edinburgh's. Scottish bagpipe music will resound around the globe, uniting the piping and drumming world in support of cancer and veteran charities worldwide. Pipefest Global Challenge willl comprise a number of stages in locations around the World, with each stage starting in succession and all events taking place within 24 hours.
The event will be launched with an opening parade in Edinburgh, featuring thousands of players, who will march past the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, along Princes Street and into the Grassmarket. As players reach the finale of this stage, bands in North America will get ready to play. As of June 2010, the participating cities include Edinburgh, Tintagel, New York City, Ottawa, Hong Kong, Coffs Harbour.
