Our friends at Wake & District in Raleigh, NC made this interesting post a few minutes ago. (They are masters of social media!)
Under the kilt…….or even if your band doesn’t wear one, we all share the same challenges, successes and occasionally, celebrations. We belong to really big, global family!

Wow! The world pipe band championships in Glasgow was amazing to experience live!! It truly was a world event, with 211 bands from Europe, North America, Australia, Malaysia and the Middle East.
Simon Frasier from Canada took top honors. Plus, there was an awesome all-women pipe band. ❤️
Seeing musicians who competed at Winter Storm in Kansas City and instructors playing on the same field together and in some cases, the same band, puts a real perspective on the talent these people have! Congratulations to all who participated on this world stage!

See Simon Frasier’s medley here:
