@leebhoy93 "an air for Elliot" composed by the pipe major of the band Ross Walker

Isn't a part of "Lament for Mary Maclaod" in the central part of the medley???

hear that shout right at the end? before anyone claps. thats me :D

Congrats SFU on another world title, 2009! Just saw it on the news. Got to admit I was surprised that the reigning world champs came from so far afield as Vancouver. I would've expected a Scottish troop or maybe a Nova Scotia group to hold the mantle. No offence. ;o) Damn, I love bagpipes and drums being played in military harmony. Makes you almost sign up for the Army. Cheers and keep up the good work!

JetPipah, (Im pretty certain) Drum Major will be in black as this is seen as a more traditional colour for competing. She won't have been near the band untill after herself and the band have competed in their relevant sections so it doesn't matter if they wear different kilts even.

The drum major traditionally was the highest ranking member in the drum corps. He was responsible for the protection of drummers and instruments, Maintaining a High order of dress and discipline and also band/drum corps admin duties and carries out public relations. He is the figure head of the band. When he is on parade what he says goes. For glesgason to turn round and say "he's more an ornament than a necessary part of the band" is just rubbish.

This band is the yard stick of how all other grade 1 bands are judged. They're always superb. Great drones and crystal clear chanters.Playings' not bad either!!Know a few players in the band and their dedication has to be admired.

whats the last tune of the medley called i cant remember..

but he is right. u don't even need a drum major, just makes you look good.

fabulous. I'm in love with the pipes. Such a beautiful sound. I wish I could play. They are so expensive!

"Does SFU compete with some of the skilled RMM players in their ranks?" Yes, people who are good enough from RMM3 or New Westminster Pipe Band move into SFU. Another aspect they look at is how good you are in solos.

its never too late to learn you should ask your brother to teach you, sorry to hear about your dad, Lee

Hi 1) I think its just a flag that is put on the bass drone of the winning bands pipe major 2) I dont really know much about drum majors sorry 3) I think that some of the RMM players can go into SFU if theyre good enough when they leave ( I think ) Lee

Great medley! Congrats! Just by curiousity: 1) What is the award called at 5:15 (the one you hang on to the bass drone). 2) Why is the Drum Major (with mace) in a different color tunic? 3) Does SFU compete with some of the skilled RMM players in their ranks? Cheers!

Thanks andreas

Great Video!!!! Best regards Andreas

I was going to but it was hard when my phone ran out of battery, but my dad did video slot, n i have still to add a vid of fmm at the worlds.

cheers ross I thought you would've taken some videos too im raging a missed fm, shotts, slot, scottish power and strathclyde police

yeah a play in dunoon grammar school you?

Great vid lee Ross

Sorry misskay but I don't play with Boghall Wish I did but i'm just a fan. Lee

I wish i was affiliated with Field Marshall but I'm not and I don't know the tunes but they were in the program on the day so if you can find a copy or someone who has one then they'll be there. Lee

yeah a did actually did you fall off the rocks or sumthin?

well i already have iron man

hey do u have a bagpipe player file for those tunes?

but what about sfu , same stuff as well, at least both play their medleys very well, any other way and it would just be revolting ;)

it kinda sounds like the crowed is sinding along

Those nations who goes to war preceeded by music allways win, because music is freedom, and those spirits that follow music demand freedom!

LOL sounds like Gregorian chant at the beginning, or is that the drones resonating through a cheap camera mike? Still love the music though great stuff.

Is the crowd singing along?...or are my speakers fukked up... oh nvm..they are fukked... btw; <3 shotts :D

what is the slow air it starts on 3 minutes?

does anybody have music for velocity

I really like this video. It's on a playlist and I'll listen to it again and again. This band is truly World Class.

thanks alot:)

Whole medley is: The Circle of Fear, The Dancing Stag, The Iron Man, Reel Prelude, The Wise Maiden, McKenna's Ceilidh, Caber Feidh, Tears of Gold, Velocity. Here they play it from McKeena's Ceilidh.

anybody have the names of the tunes (all preferably)but any will be good.

susan macleod is the strathspey you will find it in scots guards pipe music volume 2 hope tht helps:)

I don't like it. The break after the straspeys was too abrupt as well as the break from the jig to slow air. In fact I like the bulk of the medley but breaks and the intro completely ruined it for me. If was judging the "Top 3" would have been broken for sure.

haha i love the nerve of some of these trying to judge shotts playing lol, awesome intro, original

yeah I remember seeing you now i was the boy that had a band cape on and i was videoing most of the bands, i'd say this was my favourite medley

This was actually the second placed medley - Shotts won the Medley. FMM won the MSR and the overall title (by 9 points).

Looks like it you were standing on my right...I was the one in the kilt with a scotland waterproof and a black hat. There was a French gentleman next to me who seemed to know every PM who ever existed. After seeing FMM at the Europeans, I had a hunch they would win, so i videoed it on my phone for my grandfather in hospital.

anyone know the names of these tunes?

ooooh, everyone hate on shotts!! sure why not? you can't do it on the dunsire forums. shit, you can't even cuss on that site... regardless of your opinion of the band, they did something different here. i respect that. the extended 'E' was fucking brilliant in my opinion. Lots of key changes = nice. This whole set was creative and I like that. Great and successful attempt at something new. Still a shame the "Top 3" remained this year. oh well... Me gusto, Shotts. Mas por favor.

Don't be an idiot, Bryce.

it might be the same medley but it was at the 2007 worlds

Isn't this the 2006 Medley?

This is the 2006 Medley.
