The Family Tent at the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant is known for its eclectic mix of entertainment. Groups of all music and entertainment genres have appeared there – family music groups, bands, jazz combos, soloists and choirs. This year will feature a new music entertainment group. On Sunday, September 1 at 3PM, the “Fighting Scots” Bagpipe Band of Monmouth College (Monmouth, IL) will make its MOT debut in the Family Tent for a hour long concert. The concert will feature traditional Irish and Scottish Bagpipe music, along with demonstrations of bagpipes workings, drumming techniques and the unique backgrounds of each of the musicians. Led by Mt. Pleasant Community High School (’15) and Monmouth (‘19) graduate Aaron Kimzey, the performance will be one you will surely want to make a part of your Midwest Old Threshers experience this year.
