It is strange, there are so many talented youths in our local schools and yet there were barely a handfull of people, other than parents turned out to appreciate the efforts.  It is a great shame that the format of the competition is such that it is not possible to see all the junior and senior performers. It must be an almost impossible task for the judges to nominate the winners from such talent.

Anyway assisting to escort the pipers to the judging,  keeping the doors shut during recitals and singing together with some lifting and carrying to help set things up. 

A long day but worth while.
