World Pipe Band Championships Glasgow 2014



Bob and I checked out of our hotel and moved over to the dorms where the others were staying. Nathan picked up a rental van.

It was a poor day for a bagpipe competition.  It would rain for a while and then stop and the wind would blow.  The sun would come out for a few minutes and then the rain would start again.  It was the first day I felt cold in Glasgow.  The competition was at Glasgow Green and by evening parts of the lawn were turned to mud holes.

The 4a Bands competed from 11:00 a.m. to  1:00 p.m.  There were two groups and the top six from each group were chosen to compete in the finals.  The Ogden Pipe Band was in the top six of their group so had to compete again at 4:00 p.m., meaning we hung out in the cold for several hours. They ended up 10th.
