Got the following email a few weeks back from the Director of Piping and Drumming for the Glasgow (KY) Highland Games:
Stealing from Mark Twain - "News of our demise has been greatly exaggerated."

Unfortunately for this season, the Glasgow Highland Games will be unable to support a Piping & Drumming Competition. The Board confirmed this at last night's meeting. They do intend this to be a one-year hiatus though - so please keep the event on your calendars for 2012.
My recollection of the Glasgow games is that this won't have too much impact on the games themselves given that the pipe band competitions are a pretty good distance from the main events, but given that the pipe bands are my favorite part of any highland games (sometimes watching, usually competing), I'll need some convincing to attend.
