In addition to the Denver & District Pipe Band, the Longmont Chorale has invited the Highland and Irish Dancers to participate in the concert.

Scottish Highland Dancing is a celebration of the Scottish spirit. The dances are a spectacular combination of strength, agility, movement, music, and costume. Unlike other dance mediums, Highland dances are generally danced solo and in competition. Dancers typically dance to traditional Scottish music such as Strathspeys, Reels, Hornpipes and Jigs all played by an accompanying bagpiper.

Irish step dancing, popularized in 1994 by the world-famous show Riverdance, is notable for its rapid leg and foot movements, body and arms being kept largely stationary. The solo step-dance is generally characterized by a controlled and rigid upper body, straight arms and back, and quick, precise movements of feet and legs.

The combination of the choral music, bagpipe music, and Highland dance is sure to be a thrilling experience for everyone in attendance.
