Highland Games Season

Hard to believe that after preparing for the better part of 9 months, the highland games season lasts only 5 or 6 weeks! At this point we have competed in 3 games with one more to go - our home games here in Fredericton. So far the season has been a success both personally and for the band but our ultimate goal is to win at home. As a middle-aged novice piper I have modest goals - play my best each time, play better this week than last and better again next, and finally to contribute to an overall good performance and experience for the band as a whole. So far, I seem to be meeting my goals. In the solo competititions I have played as well as I can play (for the most part) and will the band I have had solid performances every time. I've been placed in the top 6 in 2 of my 3 solo competitions and our band has placed 1st or 2nd in G5 March Medley and in G5 Medley at every Games.
