  • is this a major or a minor solo competition

  • Hey that exactly how I march! I'm just starting off in grade 4 as well  :)

  • A whole lot of time and dedication.

  • For a first competition I thought you didn't do well. That wouldn't be fair towards you. You did very well! Try to round your tune off a bit and try not to march so rigidly. Marching and playing go hand in hand. If you march smoothly, you will smoothly as well. But here is the big secret. That's only a matter of experience and that you will most certainly get. You are talented young piper! Keep up the fine work lad!

  • I grew up around the pipes...you are very good. Be proud of that.

  • Firs time I competed was nerve racking for me, but I made it through. Good job

  • not really. there are only nine notes. (with a bunch of gracenotes) Playing well just takes time, technique, and a good instructor.

  • is the bagpipe hard? btw awesome!

  • Don't march like a military piper - make it look more natural, and keep practicing those grace notes. You could be a real winner soon! Keep up the good work!

  • work on your gracenotes and tempo more.

    but well played. and yes, as someone mentioned, it should be played faster! it's a march.
