The finale combines both groups and is quite powerful and really emotional. Our concerts are a visual sight that connects with everybody and is very family-oriented.

This pipes-and-drums platoon is 35 strong, and we are touring about 70 cities in three months.

Every time we catch an intended target, the confidence increases in my men.
