See the Spirit...

Since we were getting kicked out of every practice venue that we had, Thursday night found us outside of the Piping Centre waiting for Piping Idol to finish. We struck up as soon as the final winner was announced and therefore had quite the audience...



P/M Roddy MacLeod asking where John was (he was off getting his drum adjusted and tuned as we had 14 to choose from but seemed to never get the same one....plus we had just changed all of the heads...two days before the contest....)
The left side of the drum corps.


Hoss and John discussing the final touches to the medley. And yes, that is a camera....he was with us the WHOLE week.


Mr. Andrew Berthoff of www.pipesdrums.com fame....
Kahlil Cappuccino on tenor - the man with the coolest name ever. Great bass drummer who plays a wicked tenor as well. Whitney Bonnett beside him. A Kincardine snare drummer converted to tenor just for the Spirit.
Tim Djursing....Danish tenor drummer who is probably the most enjoyable player to watch. So smooth...


Criag "Hoss" Colquhoun...the man that projects energy right from the bass drum.
Andy Rogers and Matt MacIsaac...the East Coast connection.


The right of the corps.
James P. probably the only drummer that could also play with the pipe section...


This one is for Mom.

More to follow.
