The very reason that I spend an hour a day on the practice chanter. I really want to be in the middle of the music, instead of on the sidelines.
At the New Hampshire Games, I am amazed at how all the pipers respect eachother, and eachother's pipes. In the counter march many of the pipers, both on approach, and the turned tilt the normal drone side away from eachother. The right baggers tend to sway the drones back on the turn to avoid the possible crash. Looks like neat choreography, to those of us on the sidelines.
