Still one of my top 5 favourite videos on KZbin. This rendition is faultless, and the lads on the pipes are phenomenal. Well done, from a very proud Scotsman.

What a wonderful ethos this American school has in embracing our Scottish culture. These youngsters will be able to take their playing skills anywhere and be welcomed by pipe bands around the world.

I remember being the geek that loved this music as it touched my soul. Then I remember when it was cool and hip to pretent to understand this music. Know it is just played as pretending. This music is from the soul of times and touch you as such always.

A pre-k thru 12 school with a total of only 645 students has to hold its band programs in an NBA arena. That is astounding.

Pretty darrn good! keep up the great work!

[@tianshu321]

I wanted to play alto saxophone in this school, but all this high school wanted were more people to learn the bagpipes. They had a system where you would move up in instruments until you got to the bagpipes.

[@IwishIcouldFC]

beautiful

Wow, very well done!

[@uscdn7714]

Now imagine this but on January 6th in DC at Capitol Hill. It would have been EPIC.

[@GypsyThea]

This is excellent, these kids are so talented... I just think they might have had a few to many pipes thought, they kind of drown out the other instruments, but still fantastic.

[@JetPipah]

Tell me you recorded a DVD: that's magical! Well done. Perfect video duration too...

[@johnritchie4801]

I am envious of their playing ability.

[@wildangus999]

[@radouanelahjira9372]

good music

[@TheSteelamerican]

3:02-3:23 Due to the quality of the video the violinist looks like a animation. What I mean is the way he moves.

[@meibaum123]

aye!!!

[@BLINKYTHEBAT]

This is a pipe band and believe me you don't just switch from any instrument to playing the pipes. It takes about two years on a pipe practice chanter and then depending on your progress you might start on the pipes. I played in brass bands and in an orchestra for years before I toook up the pipes so you see I know what it is like.

[@dannyheaney]

Really nice sound.

[@RodgerThePiper]

WHAT is the HP that starts at 5:46???? It kinda has the feel of "Hellbound Train".. and some similar phrases but its more off the hook.

[@Chizzy941]

@StarFire00 because we dont want others to be jealous of our epicness

[@MrTezza13]

well done lads

[@lohheidpipingschool1]
