Assuming bag pipes would be illegal


Recommended Posts

My thought is bombards would be a better match to drum corps, but that's just me. :cool:

Right with you. I've been advocating shawms for years.

Better (louder) clip:

The Kilts used a recording of bagpipes playing Scotland the Brave for the 2016 pre-show; cool stuff!!

Didn't Kilties hornline start their show in the early 70's (72 or 73) sounding like bagpipes?

Sounded pretty close from what i remember.

As our Lord and Master Ken Norman always taught....good players play out of tune, bad players play louder.

Wow, and I thought all the bagpipes at tattoos were loud. I played the VA Tattoo 4 years in a row, and got sick of it pretty fast. "Time to Say Goodbye" every year with bagpipes and some shrieking vocalist was about the least musical thing I've ever played in.

The Kilties still use the bagpipe effect in "Scotland the Brave", a signature tune still being performed by the corps in parades and concerts; along with performing another of Kenny's arrangements of a Kiltie signature tune--- "Auld Lang Syne". You could hear Auld Lang Syne interwoven into the closing tune of the Kilties 2016 show.

And yes.......per Kenny, the bagpipe effect (to paraphrase)---good players play bad, bad players play loud = bagpipe effect.
