Tomorrow, I leave with our band, the Stuart Highlanders to go to Glasgow to compete the following week in the World Pipe Band Championships. 250 bands from all over the World will be there. It will take place on Friday and Saturday August 15th & 16th and streaming live on the following link as soon as it's up:

We have two bands in our outfit; Grade 1 and 4A. Grade 1 is the top grade and they will go through a qualifier on Friday, the 15th. All of the finalists and qualifiers from the other grades will compete on Saturday. I'm in the Grade 4A band. Nothing to sneeze at; the level of playing in all grades has increased dramatically over the last few years.
