Sigh.....something is truly missing......

Since when do performers need to be babysat and coddled by their employers? If teh Rogues missed the deadline, they missed the deadline. Sloanwolf was great.

Has anybody paid attention to the volunteer pipers that showed up to support our Scots? Rafe has gotten really good over the years and the young guy is really good. I heard our Queen Margaret ask him about his grade and she got it right. I think she said he was a grade 2 piper. That's really talented. And isn't it nice to have a Scottish queen that knows about pipes and pipers?

We have pipes. They aren't a band, but they're getting close. Let's support them.

I don't think anyone said it was up to Scarby to babysit anyone. 

We saw Sloanwolf on Highland weekend and yes they were awesome.

Yes, SloanWolfe was great!
Sadly, the only times I've heard the "volunteer" pipers are right before or during the parade.  Is there a set location (other than parade) where they perform regularly?  I'd like to plan a time to go see & hear them.

The pipers just show up. They don't perform in any particular place. I've only seen them in parade, gate at the end of the day and at Queen Margaret's joust at 2. One of them has been piping her entrance to the joust.

Rafe is the one who is piping for Queen Margaret at the 2:00 Joust.

We have had as many as 3 pipers and 4 drummers at the same time marching with the regiment during parade. I think 4 different pipers have been involved over various days.

The bass drum that was added last weekend really carries and is hard to miss.

In past years we had days without either piper or drummer. Now we are blessed with an abundance.
