T The band is in huge
demand, performing over 20 to 30 times every year. Some of these
performances have become an annual event such as the Christmas Tree
Lighting ceremony at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel, the many local
parades (Swallows Day parade in San Juan Capistrano, Lake Forest Forth of
July Parade, Patriots Parade in Laguna Beach), as well as the many Highland Games
that are held in Southern California throughout the year.

As well as performing at the many special events throughout the year, the San Clemente Scots
