The Palo Alto Black and White Ball is pleased to present the FIRST EVER Palo Alto Ball Battle of the Bands (PABBB); an event we hope will be the start of a long standing tradition for the Ball! The evening's bands will compete for the title of "best band" and bragging rights as determined by ball-goer's votes.
Made up of uniquely talented locals, who never outgrew their love of music and desires to rock out, the bands promise to deliver an unforgettable evening of music and fun.

STROLLING BAGPIPER
Fred Payne, champion bagpiper (www.fredpaynebagpiper.com), will be strolling the grounds of Lucie Stern. Listen for the rhythms and melodies of the Scottish Highlands!
THE SAN FRANCISCO SCOTTISH FIDDLERS
Drawing their repertoire from the rich and enduring Scottish musical tradition the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers (www.sfscottishfiddlers.org) play contemporary tunes as well as those that have been passed down from the Highlands and Western Isles, the northeast of Scotland, and Shetland. Many tunes also come from the great Scottish fiddling tradition that flourishes in Cape Breton Island off the northeast coast of Canada.
