This might be the best pipe band recording on the internet. Audible rain patter during the slow Ayre, thunder right on the reel change. Just an amazing soundscape. Thank you very much. Shotts and Dykehead for your endurance and maintaining a professional sound that is second to none through those conditions. Once in a lifetime recording! Just amazing!

An astounding performance under nightmare conditions . Just goes to show how great a character that Shotts have , no letting their standard down despite a monsoon . Looking forward to hearing this band on a normal day . A good call from the ensemble judge .

How?!? Oh my God, these pipers and drummers are clearly masters. It's one thing to perform this well in ideal conditions, and something else entirely to perform this beautifully while being drenched in rain, probably scared to death that your drones/drum is about to become a lightning rod! Well done, Shotts & Dykehead! I salute you all! 😱🥳🤯💕

Cant quite see the logic of not wearing capes an protecting the performers an instruments for later on...
@Rossthepiper858 ай бұрын
I followed the band from final tuning to the arena and there was not a chance the band had time to get their capes. The storm started on their approach to the line. Also, most bands choose not to wear capes when competing as it could waver the sound or make slippage worse.
@amacksplatoon8 ай бұрын
The reason for not wearing capes is because if your hand gets caught in the flaps of the cape when you are striking in it can be disastrous
