HAGGIS RAMPANT "PIPER ABUSE" AT LRF 2011

IT'S NOT HAZING! The Scottish bagpipes were originally designed to provide morale-boosting music during the heat of battle. The piper, therefore, had to have nerves of steel in order to stand/march and play while shot and shell whistled around him, comrades were killed, horses screamed in pain and cannonballs exploded left and right, showering him in dirt, stones and possibly bloody human parts. Haggis Rampant simulates that with their "Piper Abuse" set: Steven and Gillian continue playing despite being tormented by the members and musicians of Pandemonium Bellydance! In this set, at least, both pipers fought back briefly with Silly String at the beginning of their performance!!! For more RenFaire videos and pics, pray check out ryleh.org at your convenience.
