PORTLAND – The music of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales featuring the pipes, drums and Highland dancers of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Band of the Coldstream Guards will fill the Cumberland County Civic Center Sunday, Jan. 27.

The event showcasing the music, pageantry and tradition of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales will begin at 7 p.m.

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was formed in 1971 by the amalgamation of the 3rd Carabiniers and the Royal Scots Greys and has an unbroken history of service from 1678 through European Wars, South Africa, two World Wars and the 1991 Gulf War.

Scotland’s only regiment of cavalry, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is famous for its outstanding pipes and drums and its moving rendition of “Amazing Grace.” The regiment performs worldwide and is often at the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo held at world-famous Edinburgh Castle.

The Coldstream Regiment was formed in 1650. The Band of the Coldstream Guards has been in existence for more than 200 years, making it one of the oldest military bands in the world. Today, the band is scaled for 49 musicians who double on instruments and are trained as medical assistants and may be called upon to serve as stretcher bearers and field hospital assistants. The band became the first British military band to visit North America when it traveled to Canada in 1903.

Tickets are $35, $25 and $18, with a $3 discount for seniors 62 and older and children 12 and younger.
