a festival of community feeling
The 15th Highland Games of the Music Association, which took place last Saturday on the fairground at the stovy jump, not only represented a sporting competition, but also a remarkable example of the community's feeling of togetherness. Around 130 helpers came together to make the event an unforgettable experience that inspired both the participants and the audience.
impressive variety of competitors
A total of ten teams from southern Germany competed, including well -known names such as the "Mac Maniacs" from the Angelbach valley and the local "Ostalb Unicorn Clan". The latter cut off particularly successfully and won the team rating, which underlined the region's pride. For some teams it was the first participation, while others, like the "Mac Maniacs", have been there regularly for more than ten years. Ralph Roth, who moderated the competitions, emphasized the different experiences and the joy of shared activity.
extraordinary disciplines and fascination for culture
A unique feature of the Highland Games is the multitude of traditional disciplines that the participants carry out in kilts - the typical tartar skirts. In addition to tree trunk throwing, stone pushing and tug-of-all, these also included the beer barrel rolls and the piggyback obstacle run. The ambition was clearly noticeable, and the joy of the sporting challenge created a lively atmosphere that was further reinforced by the presence of fans and supporters.
an exciting challenge for young and old
The Highland Games not only attracted adult competitors, but also many children who took part in the children's version of the all -around combat with disciplines such as throwing targets and sack hopping. The event became an intergenerational experience that brought families together and offered joy for all ages.
music and celebrations as an important part of the festival
live music was another important part of the festival. The "Cooking Clan Pipe Band" provided musical entertainment with their bagpipe game and received a lot of applause from those present. The end of the day was a cheerfulness in the marquee with the cover band "Hard Kickin", where the audience celebrated together and danced into Scottish and Irish folk music. The event left a lasting impression and set a sign of the community and cultural exchange.
