Hello Everyone,

Let's plan on arriving to the park at 12 and being ready to play around
12:30.
Please eat lunch before arriving so we can get going.

We will likely do a quick 10-15 minute blow up on pipes just to get some
moisture into them etc.
Then we will do a bit of practice chanter work just to get everyone on the
same page before we jump into full band on pipes and drums.

The priority of tunes will be :* MSR, Medley, 6/8s*. These 3 sets are what
we are hoping everyone will generally be able to play. We will tend to use
6/8s to tune up and settle and have the comp sets to do the rest.

Secondarily (nice to have) would be Banks of the Lossie and Grans Tune. At
the moment those are our up to the line and out of the circle tunes. We
will likely be swapping Megan Harrington in there at some point.

Then Megan Harrington, Donald MacLean, One Stick Duncan, and Tune For
Lottie would be the unlikely to play, but a small group could give it a go
on sunday tunes.

Please make sure your bagpipes are airtight and fairly comfortable to play,
if the reeds are too easy please let me know, if they are too stiff I can
help a tad once we get to the park.

I really look forward to seeing everyone Sunday, it'll be good for everyone
to meet each other officially, and hear the entire drum corps and pipe
corps together.
