Featuring the
Silver Thistle Pipes and Drums Ceilidh Band and the Hill Country Highland Dancers

It was a flurry of activity as competitors began arriving at Manchaca United Methodist Church for a full day of competition. Two piping judges and one drumming judge were flown in for the day. People came from all over Texas, Lyon College in Batesville Ar, and from as far away as Massachusetts.

Silver Thistle hosted its annual Ceilidh (KAY-lee, Gaelic for Party) at Scholz’s Beer Garden on Sunday May 26! The weather was steamy and the crowd was….well, a crowd! The band performed some of its tried and true sets and tried out some new ones. Like a group Piobaireachd. There was a great bake sale with Lemon Bars, Cream-filled oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies, cupcakes, shortbread and (a New York favorite) Black and Whites.
