[@cirqueducheen5857]

Literally was obsessed with The HTTYD soundtrack in high school. Happened across this then. Here I am 7 years later and here just for that freaking beautiful bagpipe entrance. This is by far the best

[@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire]

It's definitely one hell of an entrance

[@The7thFleet]

2 amazing things combined: 1. How to train your Dragon 2. Scotland

[@tabby_cat]

Somewhere in that audience, there was me! I was in a seat facing the projected images, so my family and I had a very good view. Nice memories this brings back...

[@zoebeilschmidt5592]

This honestly gave me chills.. the memories no one will get this but dad i am so freaking proud :^)

[@the180crew]

Was your Dad performing in the one of the bands?

[@FalloutNewNarwhal]

No, but he probably died from a Night Fury's fire blast.

[@buniidraws]

Hello this is zoe from another account, since I couldn’t log back into this one. My dad was In the U.K. Air Force and served for 16 years. He was Scottish and we both loved how to train you’re dragon a lot! He passed away in 2013 and this video reminded me a lot of him.

[@buniidraws]

Hahaha night fury blast XD

[@Vath121]

I googled HTTYD bagpipes thinking it can’t possibly exist. 2:57 went a long way into completing my life.

[@SR71_Blackbird]

I just had to listen to the original because after listening to this, I was thinking "There's no way this wasn't originally bagpipes" it should have been.

@@SR71_Blackbird There are Bagpipes in the original, there are analyzes of the score where it's pointed out.

[@-GoldenSTAR-]

There are bagpipes in httyd soundtracks

[@ginnyisdacoolest]

The music lends itself to the tattoo so well, I would never have thought it until I saw it. I adore this music, and I'm so happy it gets recognised and used despite being a soundtrack :D

[@Edhead.]

The emotions felt as a full blooded Celt at 2:55 are indescribable. Cymru am byth!

[@VibrantDesigns]

2:57 *cries*

[@james925]

The pipes and drums returning, everything about it from the lighting to the start of the pipes to the many different uniforms, just adds to the feeling of triumph. truly a magical moment

[@bekyeow]

Goosebumps seriously! I love the soundtrack to the movie and i love watching the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. AMAZING!

[@fionnmaccumhail76]

How not to love bagpipes, if even a soundtrack from an animation movie sounds so.................. magical.

[@UltraPrimus]

I remember when I Saw this Live, When the Pipes and Drums Marched on again, it Sent Shiver's Down my Back

[@armadillerff]

Every soldier, sailor, airman, marine (regardless of country) HATES standing in formations for shows....10000000% everyone of these guys and gals were hella digging it this time. This would be such a bucketlist item for me!

[@PizzaHutCEO]

I was so so so hoping they were there to add a choral backing 😂

[@neidepereira6131]

Música é algo universal. Tantas etnias juntas para fazer um espetáculo maravilhoso e mágico.

[@ScottMG]

Spinetingling, awesome, amazing, only WE can pull off thid kind of thing, makes me so proud of my heritage.

[@Zhin89]

Words cannot describe just how wonderful this is...

[@FalloutNewNarwhal]

This has to be the best I've ever seen this played live!

[@herm8502]

This was one of my favorite movies growing up but now I play the pipes… I think I know what I’m playing next

[@Ifriqiyandoctor]

Damn you gentlemen you made a grown man cry... and in his office too 😭

[@coreydrake8258]

This was beautiful to watch

[@scanida5070]

[@tyynisaari]

[@lagamer1036]

You hear the bagpipes begin the sound the bagpipes before the first note of them oh I get chills

[@xxmurderousobsessionxx]

I love it! I wish i was there.

[@ramshacklerozza]

Being there was just magic in physical form

[@abimaelvargas4577]

una maravilla deleiterse con estos temas gracias..!!

[@c0ronariu5]

Very well done! I wonder why they changed a few notes from Test Drive, is that because the pipes don't go down that low?

[@rebeccagarcia5461]

This is just perfect

[@Mossydeerbones]

This is so great!

[@tigerraven]

Awesome loved it

[@Idk-gn8ov]

Cold asf

[@FallenCharlotte]

Why didn't they sync the video with the music?

[@satwolf]

@Nightrbinger24 Yes, it was my first think

[@BaronBoffin]

@c0ronariu5 The bagpipes miss out notes from a traditional musical scale too.

[@182scotty182]

This should be the anthem of ceremonies in the Scottish republic. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@BuckyDK]

@Nightrbinger24 Yea i know..though i cant really seem to hear the similarity..i live in denmark so we get free norse classes in middle school and i dont seem to hear it..maybe its just cuz of the accent the celtic people have.

[@satwolf]

@c0ronariu5 probably...an entire orchestra has a different notes extension

[@jayfitzyy]

Anyone know where I can find this video without the foreign voice over..

[@josephharper9024]

jayfitzy that’s no foreign son. That’s Gaelic. Been in Scotland far longer than English

[@davidnicolson6443]

@@josephharper9024 I that it has my grandfather could not speak English until he was 5 and that was in 1940

@Nightrbinger24 In specific do you mean Old Norse or New Age? cuz new age scandinavian sounds nothing like Gaelic.

[@BartyBartface]

Is there an uncommented version?

You can have it if you buy the official DVD from 2011, If I remember well. I have it somewhere.
