no, they can't seem to co-ordinate things yet. Mass pipe and drums are something to behold/listen to.

my son has a drum kit and practices mostly rock beats, although he has just started taking an interest on Jazz. His school has 3 Big Bands and he wants to be part of one of them.

He's in two of the Concert bands already but I think he like the more upbeat Big Bands.

While nothing sounds much worse than an unskilled piper....there is nothing that sounds much better than a skilled corps....like FDNY's Emerald Society...

I often see/hear our Police Pipe band practising in town. They always practice in ANZAC square which is surrounded by buildings, adding to the acoustics.

We go to the Highland games in Gresham just to hear the pipe bands. We arrive early in the morning and sit in the covered bleachers directly in front of the area where the bands stop to play. When they compete, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band from Burnaby B.C. is always amazing.

Great shots, Didier. Honest. Interesting captures of historic areas. You really get to go to some cool spots.

As for McD's, I fully understand.

How often do they do the games, Mike? And when are the next ones due? Love to go shoot that.


I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Once a year, I want to say they are sometime in the summer. I can't remember exactly.

Good I am not as crazy as I thought. I wanted to say around August, but held back because I wasn't certain. :lol:
