Not bad - third in piping and third overall - particularly as this was our first outing in a grade III contest for a number of years.

Same problems as in the Grade IV with pipers cutting in and out, but there were some good aspects to the performance.

Opening march is being well played, strathspey not too bad, reel (very creditable considering the guys have taken some time to settle on it). Slow Air and Calypso were a bit rough, particularly on tone but that was all down to the blowing - not the reeds (for a change!).

Ah well, something to build on - we hope!
