I heard the pipes and began to look for the pipers and was disappointed not to see them. However it was neat to have pipes included in the musical montage. And it was mentioned several times about the order of the countries being based on Chinese calligraphy of the name and the number of strokes needed for each name.
But even more interesting was the whole opening ceremonies - they just WOW'ed me!

Mains of Fintry Pipe Band grade 4 (presumably no grade 1 bands would have wanted it as it would have clashed with the world championships)
