Hi Gang,

Oct 11; Perfect afternoon weather for a practice. Practiced both
competition sets as an ensemble.

If you are wrestling with pipe setup, or need help with the music, reach
out and the band has the expertise to get you going again. Have a hide pipe
bag? Both Adam and I have cans of seasoning, just $12 each through SVPB. We
also have resources to help drummers needing a kick start for the Fall.

Next practice: Oct 25; 3 - 5 pm Edith Morley Park

Sure... focus on all music still to be memorized; but REALLY focus on Jimmy
Wards jig and MSR reel: MacKay from Skye. Use your metronome with both
tunes on both chanter and pipes. And yes, I'm saying this as much to myself
as well as other G4 pipers. ;-)

In attendance:
Christina - pipes
Neil - pipes
Steve C - pipes
Steve H - pipes
John B -pipes
Erin T - snare
Adam - snare
Johnny B - snare
Jeff G - bass

Adam also handed out new chanter reeds for pipers in need. Thanks Adam!!

Regards,
John
