Toward the end of the preview on their web site is a clip of a highland regiment (The Irish Guards Pipe Band
and / or Balmoral Pipes) playing Amazing Grace. Can you say "CHILLS"

I can say chills, and that trailer gave 'em to me. Thanks, cav.

Like ckelly, I have my own funeral music picked out and recorded as well. If they can't do it live, it'll be "Homeword Bound" (a capella choir), "Amazing Grace" (pipes joined by organ for the big finish), and "Goin' Home" (pipes alone). Much as I love the Corps and things military, none of that for the funeral. By then, the battle will be o'er and race completed as I go to the land from whose borne no traveler returns.

But I'm in no hurry, you understand!

That movie is now on the must see list.

Each year at the Longs Peak Games in Estes Park, CO, at the tattoo the last bit before the massed bands march out Amazing Grace is played. It starts with a reading of supporters and other Celtic losses from the year. Then a lone piper at the top of the "castle" starts playin and it builds until at the end all the bands, including the USMC 29 Palms Band, is playing. VERY moving.

I've already managed to play Amazing Grace on my new practice chanter!

(and within 5 minutes of playing it for the first time)!

[Will] the bugle play The Last Post And Chorus;
[Will] the pipes play The Flowers Of The Forest?
