Scotland the Brave, & etc.

As promised, here is some more bagpipe music. This is the drill for all of the contestants: the band marches in as demonstrated in the first video, then, as demonstrated in the other video, the band forms a circle with the bass drum in the middle and plays a song while 4 judges in kilts walk around and around looking at the band and writing madly on clipboards. I was going to take lots of videos like these two, but ended up watching the games instead. Maybe next year. Oh yes, you may notice that the picture isn't quite lined up correctly with the band - it was very bright & I couldn't see the display on my camera, so I had to kind of guess what was being shot.

This band was pretty representative of the quality and size of the groups. Hope you enjoy.
