Hi people. It's your favourite Roving Reporter here, coming to you live from you know where, my desk! The Fifth Condobolin Tattoo was held on Saturday 10 September and I played as part of the school pipe and drums. It all started with a street parade as we all marched down the main street of Condobolin. The Tattoo started afterwards in a small arena behind the RSL Club. And it was cold! This event is held every three years in the Central West with Pipe Bands, dancers and performers coming from all over NSW to entertain the Lachlan Shire. Due to COVID-19 it was postponed in 2020 and again in 2021 but we got to do it all now this year in 2022. There were a number of performers at the Tattoo including Lithgow Highland Pipe Band, Scots All Saints College Pipes & Drums Band, Wagga and District Highland Pipe Band, Yanco Agricultural High School DrumCorp, Leeton Pipe Band, Granville Boys High School, Condobolin RSL Pipe Band, Joy Reiher School of Scottish Dancing, Galari Bia Waga Dhannys dancers, Parkes Shire Concert Band plus individual pipers and drummers. It was all pretty amazing.

Until next time 
Leo Roving Reporter
