- Curtin University surprised and delighted its students and staff at lunchtime on campus with a grand performance - a rousing rendition of dozens of bagpipers and drummers, from five converging marching bands who appeared from behind various buildings dressed in casual clothes like students. The crowd was wowed by the impromptu appearance of these champion pipe bands from across Perth.

This literally gives me chills... So many different people, different backgrounds, different ages, different stories, different looks, different etnicies and so on. All coming together for only one thing... Music! It reallt shows the fraternization of all those people together. I love it ❤ Humans are made to love each other, not to hate each other.
There is something inherently beautiful about the music created by bagpipes and drums.
My favourite flash mob bagpipe performance.
Fantastic drumming by the young man, and a great start by the lassie piping 👍
This is my jam song. I listen to this & I am ready to take on the world!!
❤ 🙏
Put tears and a big smile on my face.
Oh Australia I love you. I'm a native Texan and there is some special quality of life shared between Aussies and Texans.
It is truly a awesome sight when people can come together and play a song and it alone draws a crowd of on lookers to marvel and appreciate music as a something wonderful.
I love this tune and love playing it. When I play it as I'm practicing on the East River in NYC, everyone stops and listens. This flash mob did a great job playing it three times in perfection. Great job guys and girls
Loved it,I'm from Scotland nothing beats the pipes and drums,that was AWESOME thank you
I'm from fife and this tune gives me goosebumps everytime, amazing
I am from L eith and i love the music also.
How could 38 people dislike this. It is one of the best flash mob renditions of Highland Cathedral that I have heard. It was amazing.
By the English
I bet the 38 are trump voters
Because they don't have taste for music.
Why be a twat?@@malcolmmckinlay2143
What a sad little person @@AnelOlivardiaS
What a performance from all but especially Laura McMillan on the solo pipes, talented and very pretty. It would appear she has it all, you go girl.
She is a grade 1 piper from Inverary and District Pipe Band. They have won the Piping Live Quartet competition from 2011 to 2015 and they are run by Stuart Liddell.
Shes my pipes teacher at my school
The song they played was beautiful. I love the pipes, it gave me chills.
It is Highland Cathedral.
@@soslothful Yes it is, and in my opinion one of the most powerfull compositions, even more so if one knows it's history.
@@rjvanloon4769 I'd be glad to hear the history. I know it was written by two Germans but this is all I have heard. I'm learning it on the penny whistle.
@@soslothful
Yes it was written by 2 Germans, as a tribute to the spirit of the Highlands after the Highland Games that were held in Germany, and as an act of admiration to the fact that people could again be friends despite their history.
Despite what many people think, it's pretty modern, as it was written in 1982. It's special because it so well expresses the Highland spirit, most people will mistake it for an older traditional Scottish song, so it shows the deep understanding people from different cultures can achieve.
There are lyrics too, though they are not well known.
Land of my fathers, we will always be
Faithful and loyal to our own country.
In times of danger we will set you free,
Lead you to glory and to victory.
Gone is the past, let us start anew,
Let this hope of peace always remain
Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true,
Then your children will smile again.
Hail, Caledonia to our ancient pray’r,
In this Highland Cathedral, let our standards bear,
Joining together with on dream to share,
God bless the people of this land so fair.
Rise, Caledonia let your voices ring
In this Highland Cathedral of our God and King,
Who joy and liberty to all will bring,
Come, let your heart with love and courage sing.
@@rjvanloon4769 Thanks, this is good information. I played on the GHB a lot when I was in a local band, Now I'm learning it on the penny whistle. I play twice through, then the A part twice.
I Love Highland Cathedral
Beautiful tune well played and would be really spectacular in uniform, well done
Brilliant! Tears in my eyes.
My old university. And I know three people in that band.
Great video
Weltklasse, greetings from Germany
To a Scottish person that was amazing
This gets me every time, I tear up listening to it. “Nemo me impune lacessit”
Simply put, beautiful.
Am GREATLY impressed!
Not one of the "usual" bagpipe tunes---I like it.
"It takes a Scotsman to play the pipes" haha
Absolutely beautiful!
Very Nice!! It needs MORE KILTS!!!
Agreed
The only reason I took up the pipes was to wear the kilt!! ;{) :{0
I loved seeing a girl bagpipes at the start of this video!
I wish this would happen where I live.
Me too
bigoldinosaur You never know! Do you have a pipe band near where you live?

Would LOVE to see a Scotland the Brave flash mob ❤️❤️❤️
As an Englishman, the sound of pipes and drums stirs even me, it's such a shame there is so much animosity between Scotland and England
MMOJUNKIE is there?! I found the Scottish people really lovely and polite whenever I've been to Edinburgh, and it's obvious I'm English by my accent.
love this...
JUST F..... AMAZING. I WISH I'D SEEN IT.

well done guys
Beautyful 😍😍
I've never actually seen a woman playing the pipes before. It's a welcome sight!
Xion Memoria are you Scottish then? No..... ?
Usually my band plays this slower to bring out the melody but this still really cool!!!!!
I've loved the pipes since I stumbled into a Grand Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle back in the 80's
Nice work Alana and crew.
- Dan G
What a great idea and a great sound

Respect! To play the pipes you need lungs or iron. Not easy as WatchMojo said.
Damn I never knew my country has bagpipes. Australia
Cool verry nice:)
wery nice
Classic Highland Cathedral
What is the name of that tune help plz?
Bit of a bigger crowd than when my band did this at the local shopping center November 2013 :)
WHAT IS THAT TUNE? I find it very deeply affecting and I have no idea what it is or how it came about.
The tune is Highland Cathedral and was written by a couple Germans I believe. This is one of the best renditions I have heard.
Great come together and good response. But should have played one more song when they had a crowd. like, "Scotch on the rocks", they could have done a great exit with that.
Love the music, anyone know what its called?
Highland Cathedral
But I wanted more!! :-(!!
What song is it?
Mr Johnny john Jimmyjefferyjr highland cathedral
Best flash mob ever
Where are there kilts and sporans
What Is this song called
It's called "Highland Cathedral". Funny for years, me mom wished to have "Ave Maria" to be played at her funeral when she passes.....she heard this once, and now she's changed her mind to "Highland Cathedral"....ha ha ha!!!
❤️ 🏴 ❤️
One tune ? Come on, play a full set
No seconds
Was this for Gay Pride Month or does the courtyard always have a rainbow flag on it?
Hi +tealescope, the hexagon was painted for PrideFest. Curtin Stadium is also lit up with rainbow coloured lights during this time. - Emily

You know ww3 is coming when this happens
Ah yes, Highland Cathedral written by two Germans. And you thought it was from Scotland.
Is that a gay park square?
Irish Pride :) Parris Clan
Irish pride:) O’Brien clan
Not bad at all, but nobody does it like the Scots.
Hey, how did they gather so many stray cats in one place and get them to all to scream together like that? 🤔
Everyone, please watch my tiny nature videos. There is no talking in them. Shhh!
