No pipe band competition at Glasgow (KY) Highland Games

[EagleJCS]

Well, Kenneth, since the competition isn't going on, and LPB isn't available (not in enough numbers to field a performing band) you won't be seeing me there. My pocketbook won't stand the strain of the fuel and lodging costs. Not that I'd be a draw for you anyway.

Besides, if you're going to KSW, you'll see me there, and that's just three weeks earlier.

(For those that don't know, I'm one of the co-directors of the contest and have been involved since about 2002. I was waiting to post the info about the band contest until someone asked who was going.

The pipe & drum competitions aren't so far away from the main field that they can't be heard - as long as the professional entertainers aren't deafening everyone. As I stated on another forum regarding the location, there were complaints in the past about the contest being up on the main field, both from the competitors and the spectators, among others. Our current location is the best compromise.)
