Thanks. Yeah, the school has their own version of "Heritage Day" and the Principal just loves when I attend . My girls wear their sashes and we everyone has a great time.
Nice video. I'd not seen a two-person reel before. They did a nice version of a Strathspey and Half Tulloch. Do you always pipe your Strathspey that fast? I like it as I find the setting steps in the Strathspey so slow.
My Pipes are pre-1900 Lawries, with E-Z Drones [which I was dead-set against in the beginning/traditionalist], chanter is a Shepard with a Warnock reed.
Would you believe the girls started learning the Dances in late January? They are fantastically speedy students...lol.
We would have done the Broad Sword and Fling but the girls also participated in choral and instrumental performances that day. It would have been too much on their tiny bodies...lol. Elizabeth is 13 and Emily is 12.
Perhaps sometime in the near future I can get the other dances on tape as well...
Maybe I'm misreading this, but if you have replaced the chanter, and replaced the drones (and presumably replaced the bag) what remains of the original pre-1900 Lawrie pipes?
