I look forward to meeting you as well. One of the two bands I play in just started competing in grade 5 last year as well. I'll be competing in the solo's out there as well. What catagory are you cometing in? I'm sure your band will do just fine, it's not just about winning/placing. My playing has come s long way since I started competing last year. Having Jamie Troy jr as a tutor has done a hell of a lot of good for me as a piper ( hopefully he'd agree with me!)
Looking forward to the games.
