The outdoor games season has officially begun with the Bellingham Highland Games the first for us out west. Due to an oversight in the judging allocations, James P. was forced to withdraw from the Professional Piobaireachd since James W. was allocated that event. Playing two out of the three events he originally entered for, James P. managed a fine performance in the MSR, resulting in a 2nd place.
The Pro drumming saw the usual competitors - with pretty much everyone having a good play - despite massed bands going on behind us and the random man yelling at us to stop playing...
A full summary of the solo results can be found at www.bcpipers.org.
Georgetown marked the first of the Ontario outdoors. Hamilton Police Pipe Band, near and dear to JWT Reedmakers, went about winning the Grade 2 class. Watch their performance at this youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCxfOuxgOSA
Toronto Police Pipe Band brought out their newest medley, Idiomatica. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiU4LT_-VAw. With yet again pushing the 'pipe band' boundaries, these guys will certainly make a wonderful showing in Lorient this summer.
