GALT KILTIE BAND

The Galt Kiltie Band is a community band located in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

In July 1902, a marching and concert band in Waterloo County came into being. Initially named the "Galt Band", it soon decided to adopt the distinctive red and green uniform of the 1895 Black Watch Highlanders. This new look brought a new name as well -- "The Galt Kiltie Band" -- and well over 100 years later, the close-knit group of musicians has entertained the crowds all across Southern Ontario.

PERPETUA BY: Peter Meechan
Wind Orchestra

When I write music I feel a need to comment on the world around us – which, right now, is not always a happy society. But I also want to write music about the world I want to live in – about the joy, beauty, hope, and love I see in our communities. In writing Perpetua I wanted to compose a piece of perpetual motion, that is challenging, exciting, and fun – all brought together through a sense of joy. Perpetua was commissioned by Foothills Concert Band (Calgary, AB, Canada) and their conductor Anthony Reimer.
