The other side of druid
My 11yr old's school has an "Arts Day" where they share their Family Heritage and for those with talent, performances.
I'm the Piper, my 13yr old [Elizabeth] is on the right and her GF from school on the left side as they are standing there on stage [Emily]. This is one of the 3 Highland Dances they/we do. Pipers, go easy on me...this reed only has about 6 hours on it and isn't broken in yet

I'm no expert but the pipes sounded fine to me.

Same here, my web connection stinks so I could not catch the whole performance, but from what I heard you sounded great dude. Keep up the good work.

thanks all.
My Pipes are pre-1900 Lawries, with E-Z Drones [which I was dead-set against in the beginning/traditionalist], chanter is a Shepard with a Warnock reed.
Would you believe the girls started learning the Dances in late January? They are fantastically speedy students...lol.
We would have done the Broad Sword and Fling but the girls also participated in choral and instrumental performances that day. It would have been too much on their tiny bodies...lol. Elizabeth is 13 and Emily is 12.
Perhaps sometime in the near future I can get the other dances on tape as well...
