Cadets Pipe Band in the Highlands

[@stevew6141]

I heard that when the enemy heard the bagpipers playing, they got really scared. BUT....then I wonder. The pipers carried no weapons, right? Or am I misunderstanding this?

[@darnick54]

Great to hear the older tunes instead of the gobbledegook “medleys” we are subjected to at competitions. Very well done.

[@rvail136]

As an American, and a Marine (a service who use many British derived marching traditions) it's always fascinating to see the differences in US & UK marching styles. I play the pipes (badly) and could only hope to sound this good myself. Great video.

[@hmac163]

My US friend who is former Army just said this the other day at my kids awards ceremony (we are Canadian). He didn’t elaborate. Is it because it’s slower? Smaller steps? They will march slower if there are pipes and drums, or a memorial they do this funeral march which looks different. For cadets this group is pretty good. I’ve seen some pretty rough looking drill 😂. My dd takes drill very seriously and she gets so annoyed when kids aren’t “squared away” and marching properly.

[@brianlouw1187]

Oh my word those drill sergeants and instructors......played bagpipes for 10 years in a school in South Africa and we had the late Pipe Major Waters......highly decorated during WW2......just scared the pants off you......what great times and great memories......will listen for hours and get all teary eyed even at age 60....50 years along

[@piperg6179]

@@marffvmarffv5438 thats the point, if you dont enjoy it you wont keep at it. Suggest you pick simple tunes you like and put in what grace notes you can. Then, as you get better go back and add a few grace notes starting with ones that seem to improve the tune. Later on, unbelievable as it may seem, you will b able to add or take out grace notes as the whim strikes you during the tune. Sure its a difficult instrument but think of fiddlers...several ways to play every note and finger position decides pitch
