A thoughtful look at the world of bagpipes and bagpipe competitions

The secret to a good pipe band

Michael Grey posted a statement of what he identified as “the blindingly obvious” about pipe bands:

People playing good music well with people they like is the secret to a good pipe band.

That’s why I enjoyed my three years with Macdonald Pipe Band in Pittsburgh so much: as a band, everyone wanted to play the music properly, and to improve their own abilities. As a group of people, they enjoyed hanging out together. It was ideal, and I miss it very much.
