It was an awesome place for a games..

I was given the Honor of being the solo Piper leading in the Clans right after the Massed bands. I was also given the Honor or Piping at the Front of the Games as the official welcoming committee.. I'll post some video when I get a chance, I was looking for other X'ers but I was so busy piping or getting ready to pipe I didn't find anyone!!

That was you at the gate? You sounded great. We stopped and listened to you for a bit.

Thanks a Lot, I was a little nervous playing while people were coming in, I have about 40 tunes in my repertoire and i didn't wanna play the same tune twice. I got tons of Complements on my piping and my SWK Leatherneck kilt.. It was a perfect day for the games; not too hot, not too cool and a lot of excitement from the people coming to the games.. Saw the gent with his kilt on backwards.. didn't even know what to say.

I did not notice anyone playing at the front gate. What time did you start playing? There was one guy in a sport kilt that was WAY to long for him at the front gate, but that was it. The first people we ran into playing were the people from the bands practicing. That makes me a little sad. I wished I would have known you were doing that. I also wish I could PLAY the bagpipes.

I did not know what to say either. He looked like he was so proud of wearing his kilt and was taking lots of pictures that I don't think I could have said anything. Oh well, I am sure he will learn.

I am looking forward to your video Eric. I really want to see you play.
