December 7, and 8th: Piobaireachd Club, Mini-Gathering and Professional Piping Knockout (whew) A great weekend for piping events in BC.
(Andrew Lee is playing in the photo to the right) A memorable and enjoyable evening with a total of 15 (!) pipers. Contrary to a rumour (just kidding) all these people really do show up just for Piobaireachd; yes the snacks were excellent, but Piobaireachd is the reason for the evening.. A meeting report, and even a photo album, have already been posted on the BCPipers web site.
In this photo, Rob MacNeil is starting off the meeting. While these seminars were well attended, I believe that if more people understood how valuable the information, and how enjoyable the meeting, that there would be even greater participation. I certainly hope we see more of these enjoyable and informative seminars in the future.
(I am not writing too much here, because a video report will be posted on the BCPipers web site sometime later this week - sights and sounds.. Check back.) After dinner, starting about 7:00PM, was the second half of the first round of the BCPA Professional Piping Kockout - another video report will be posted shortly for this event, so I'll not report much here.. except:
In (the fullness of ?) time I will be posting video reports from the weekend - Please check the WPN or the BCPipers site for these later this week |
