I was at Dunbarton and listened to most of the grade one bands tuning up. Thought they were good until I came on FM Pipers at the bus. I was blown away by their tone, chanter pitch, discipline, they have it all. There wasn't a band in the park to touch them. I hear that their new medley is a corker. Can't wait to hear it.

A class act.

Epic drones, as per usual, and good phrasing and lift through all tunes. A cut above....but SLOT were also superb. Both are alone at the top until SFU turf up IMHO.

SLOT are certainly getting there. AND they've got the better Drum Corps!!

About two parts into their march I awarded them First Place. I don't need to hear their medley; I don't want to hear any other bands. "FIRST". Done. Let's go to the beer tent. Kudos to them for dusting off parts 5 and 6 of "Pipe Major Thomas McAllister". So not only do they have a badass sound; they play a badass EIGHT-PARTED march, the lovely Susan, then "Charlie's Welcome". Tough stuff to beat.

And another 8 parter in MSR 2 with Pretty Marion! 6 Part Highland Wedding, 6 Part Blair Drummond and 8 Part Marion...WHAT A SET... WHAT A BAND!!!!

[ChrisZ70]

Yes, and they PLAY that other set so very well, too. Their rendition of it in the All-Ireland Championships from (I think) '07 is one of the best MSR performances I've ever heard in my life. I'm a little tired of "The Highland Wedding," but not they way they play it! Tremendous sound with razor execution and perfect expression, absolutely brilliant throughout the whole set you mentioned.
