    1 The 42nd Royal Highlanders America’s premier band of pipes, fifes, and drums Annual Newsletter 2013 XLII Greetings from the 42nd! -This year’s newsletter will focus on the band’s recently-completed Tour of Scot- land from June 19-27. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and we hope to tell all about the lead-in to the trip and what all the band accomplished during the tour. Yours Aye, Preston Smith President Tour of Scotland For decades, while performing all around the United States, the 42nd band has dreamed of traveling to and performing in Scotland. In the years leading up to and following the release of “No Matter What the Season”, the band’s marching and musicianship had improved to the point where, in 2011 - following the sale of the Griffin House and creation of the Griffin Endowment - the men of the 42nd set a goal to finally reach Scotland in 2013. Scotland Tour Group, Edinburgh Castle Since setting our sights on Scotland, the band has redoubled its efforts in many areas: maintaining and improving uniforms, acquiring matched chanters to improve the sound of the pipes, repaint- ing drums, upgrading the Regimental Colors (thanks to fifer Josh Rose for the painting of the regimental device!), Arranging new sets of music, working on marching, drill, and deportment, and developing a fundraising plan to make it all possible - primarily centered around playing for the public as much as possible. In the year before leaving for Scotland, the band traveled from the Straits of Mackinaw to the Gulf Coast, and put on nearly 30 perfor- mances.
