A thoughtful look at the world of bagpipes and bagpipe competitions from the outskirts of Washington, DC

Video: 2/4 March

The video from my 2/4 march from yesterday’s contest. The tune is Major Manson at Clachanstrushal and I was 2nd place out of nine.

In all of my contests yesterday the F was sharp and high G was flat, so I need to develop my ear for those notes especially. There are some bits of rushing and kind of muddy execution, but what upset me most was that little choke near the end. I was almost there and stopped paying attention. Serves me right for shutting the brain down while still playing.
