  • Edinburgh tattoo is coming to Sydney 2010

    Apparently so! The Edinburgh Military Tattoo will perform in Sydney next year! The New South Wales capital beat out several other cities to secure the event, five years after it lasted hosted the show. It would be great to see it especially if Lochiel attend.
    Did anyone attend the tattoo in Wellington in 2000? I only have the video from the event that was televised on TV. The Edinburgh Military Tattoo will play the Sydney Football Stadium on 4th February 2010

    Anyway, the link to the site if anyone is interested.

    Hi everyone, sorry there haven't been many updates off late. I'm presently overseas and not sure when I'll be home at this stage. I hope everyone has taken a well deserved break from marching and gearing up to start training for the new season!

    I'm still a bit lost for new ideas for this bebo site, so any thoughts are appreciated.

    Happy marching :)

    Hi there. My involvement in Marching started in the 80s when my eldest daughter, Tracey, decided to join a Midget Marching team. Woodside Rangers, or something like that. Anyway, to cut a long story short she marched in all grades of the day. Midgets, Juniors & Seniors for the likes of P'toetoe ...

    Thank you to everyone who does done any of the Quizzes I have devised.

    Does anyone have an opinion on how difficult a quiz should be? If the question is, Who is famous as the coach of Lochiel?, I would assume everyone could answer it. If the question is, Who coached Foveaux FM in the 1991/92 season,you would probably have to have been a team member to know,and even then you might not remember. There has to be a happy mean,where the questions aren't too easy,or too hard,but where is it?

    Denise,winning the Junior championship with Balmoral certainly would have been a highlight. It is still uncertain why the Australian journalist said Canadian Guards were champions in 1972,the year before,but it may have been a misunderstanding of some kind. Canadian Guards had won the Senior championships a couple of times in earlier years as well.

    What a year for marching in Auckland.

    Canadian Guards did win NZ Champs in 1973, Balmoral won the Junior Grade and Tangelo the Midget grade that same season, all NZ Champ Teams from Auckland. I was a member of the winning Balmoral Team and Nationals were in Invercargill, when we got home there was a guard of honour for us at the airport, Canadian Guards being one of the many teams there, it was a highlight of my marching career.

    About Imperial Guards' coach,this was the caption to a photo in the magazine, Woman's Day,back in May,1972.

    "1. Attractive Moira Bryson,leader of Canadian Guards...winners of the recent NZ championship".

    Canadian Guards gave marching displays at the Australian championships in Melbourne that year,and that's why they were mentioned in an Australian magazine. The curious thing is that,according to the Marching Down Under booklet,Lochiel were NZ champions in 1972. It is possible that the journalist was referring to the NZ Display championship,which Canadian Guards may well have won,or it might simply have been a mistake. Or is MDU the one that is mistaken? Interestingly, Canadian Guards did win the NZ championship the following year,1973,so perhaps it was a prediction!

    Hi Vicky I'll see what I can do :)

    Good news Denise. New masters teams. Can you muster up some new senior teams too pls? As long as the team numbers are going up! Regardless of the trouser /skirt issue its good the women marching in that grade are very keen to keep marching. I think teams should have the option, they're paying to be in the sport after all, but we won't go there. Best wishes for the New Auckland masters teams Denise. :)

    Shane, two new Masters Teams in Auckland this year, unfortunately no Blackwatch though. New teams are, Imperial Guards and Kilarn. Some of you may remember Moira Clark (nee Bryson), she is coaching Imperial Guards. Myself & Donna Durrant are coaching Kilarn. We look forward to seeing everyone in the upcoming season.

    Hi everyone. Was wondering if the people that have the newspaper articles would mind photocopying them for me and send them through. I am putting a marching scrap book together for my daughter. She is marching mad and anything will help. I have a few from the papers around my area but none from south island or upper north island. On another note I am hoping there will be a competitive senior team in our area this year. If not then I'm going to have to travel I think.

    Could anyone work out a quiz based on teams with Maori names,their meaning and significance? I am working on a quiz based on team colours,but I haven't got it satisfactorily worked out yet. Too many teams have similar colours!
