(AP) -- CHARLESTON, S.C -- The Citadel's Regimental Band and Pipes from the South Carolina military college will be the only American band playing next year at the prestigious Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland.

The event in August is a monthlong nightly festival of military music and pageantry.

It's the second trip to Scotland for the Citadel band, which performed at the event in 1991. The Citadel is the only military college ever invited.

Citadel President John Rosa says he's proud the band is representing the United States.
