I yam fighting platoism, Franckism, ant1hropology; I have no 'ulk for them ilk. May I say ime a Niger also being that I am black irish, yes, and my cousins are on this Long isle and are black native Americans, wee share a common grandmother Long. I would never admit to Bing racism or white supremacy. I sold the devil to my left sleeve because he made types like me right handed and, na Noah, I am a stein ,not a beer stein but an Ein. Cousins like mine out east I have been following the news about. Tell ya later...😮🤐

[@carolcunningham7646]

So now ime a Norwegian scot.well welcome to the merrier! We ski and love winter sports. I love ice skating. With global warming our desert is millions, it won't freeze. Swans visit there. No more snowblower to throw snow around. We had only a small dusting last winter b4 wee put ole man winter to sleep. What boring projects wee had so et, that'll be all.

[@carolcunningham7646]

Our desert is Millpond not as reported, the clout said "millions" that's all

[@billmcmaster9555]

What exactLy happened?

[@aspirantdrummer]

@billmcmaster9555 Natt Russell, one of the judges, gave them a 14. after they played their MSR 1 back in Friday

[@benfoy5035]

@@aspirantdrummer was he even judging?? He isn’t down for grade one MSR 🤔🤔

[@carfix2000ca]

@@aspirantdrummer Ya. That doesn’t make sense. I’ve seen it happen lots of times in band competitions. Also in solos. End when you look at the scores given on the pipes and drums site, SFU had one run where they placed 1,2,1 on one sheet but the other piping judge gave a 5 or 6. I could see if maybe ensemble or a drumming judge gave that kind of score because of a major error or blending. But there’s 2 piping judges and you wonder sometimes if they were even listening to the same band

[@MrUlsterscot]

He judged them in the MSR on the Friday. That fact now appears to have been erased from history. It's all a bit Orwellian. I feel sorry for Boghall and for the other Grade 1 bands who may now feel that the results weren't properly obtained. On the day, my view (from the tuning park) was that it was the closest competition there has been in years. That's good for pipe bands in general, but this controversy and the sour taste it is bound to leave isn't good for the movement, and is a sad state of affairs for all of the bands involved.

Pipes can be joyful when needed, it's not always about regret and loss.

[@CameronStewart-c4o]

I would like to see a combination of the Indian pow wow together with the Glasgow highland scot championships for once. They could hold it in Montana US😊A. No beer or whiskey though. Just buffalo haggis an Pringles and milks.

[@violadamore2-bu2ch]

[@willdeth3054]

Are there other tunes played besides that one?? Seems like they transition to a few others. The set is absolutely amazing, can't stop listening to it. Reminds me of the first worlds I bought on tape...1987, the big upset.
