Bagpipes!

We've noticed that at the Commonwealth Games, a piper plays the introduction of the music for the medal ceremonies.  Today we had a visit from Graeme, a bagpipe master!  He talked to us about the history of the bagpipes and how they work.  Then he played a few songs.  Graeme was also dressed in the traditional Scottish gear.  The piercing sound of the pipes was really impressive!

  1. I thought Graeme the bagpipe master was amazing. The way he explained how the pipes worked and his history of playing them was interesting! I thought his uniform was very fancy, but respectful to the traditions of Scottish people!
