This takes me back to 1983 at the Princess Street contest. We had been practicing for our time to compete in Grade 2. There were 4 or 5 kids listening intently. The snare were playing modified Ludwig’s with an added bottom snare. Nice but flat the judges would say! One of the guys said he wondered who they were. The Pipe Sergeant said they were probably with a cheesy juvenile band! The boys all heard him & laughed among themselves! About 10 minutes later Boghill Marched past by. & their we saw those boys looking right at us. Oops!
Maybe its only me but as a drum major, tenor drummer and base drummer can not grasp anymore why the base section is moving all the time , they seems nowadays being more poi dancers, do not get me wrong but 40 year ago we played music and the tenor section spoke to the heart, and was deep Feld, Now is just beauty before music it seems. I know I will critics on y comment but reality is still what it should be, even it is my reality give a loud bang so that the all pipe band enjoy. if the base goes wrong all the rest will do so too. You are all good in what you are doing and the sound is angelic to my ears, but do not forget the root base where it al growed from, just one thing to add and do not take it as offence asfore may pipes do the same the base section looks like automats or robots no feeling for the music just scores to go true
I stumble accross the competition as I was unaware it was taking place, but made the most of the day and did my best to record the sound well and label each part of the competition as well as I could
Thanks for your coments, I take the audio very seriously and do my best to make a good recording while following the action live, for one person on their own it's some challange but one I enjoyed
That is not at the worlds and I am not convinced that is the gr1 band unless the entire midsection was replaced by younglings but a nice set and performance
This was the Edinburg pipe band champs not the worlds also I think this is the gr2 band here is g1 set m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8l7V-xBG1VQ.html
