Last year, they had to go virtual. This year, they re going outdoors.
So, it won t take place (as it usually does) indoors at the Norfolk Scope Arena, but, outside at Old Dominion University s S.B. Ballard Stadium. It s absolutely fantastic, from the veteran performer to the new performer, said Lance Pedigo, Massed Pipes and Drums drum major. The ones that have done this before, obviously, it s very exciting to get back in front of a live audience.
Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer 2 Eric Kyne, of the Marine Forces Reserve Band from New Orleans, Louisiana, agrees. We re absolutely thrilled, super excited to be here, Kyne said. On top of it, this is the first trip we ve made since the pandemic.
