The pipe band is the Mains of Fintry Pipe band from Dundee.

According to one of the commentators they were heard playing at a folk 
festival in ?France by someone involved in the organising of the ceremony 
who liked the sound and decided he wanted them to be there.

There seem to be 4 very different sounding groups playing during the 
athletes parade so each one gets a bit of a break, and it certainly makes 
for variety.

I saw a couple of shots of them and they are in full gear.  Well done Mains 
of Fintry.
