The sheriff's pipes and drums resumed practice 8/25/09. After a long summer break it was evident that the chanters needed no "dusting off". Fingerwork during the practice chanter session was surprisingly crisp, with rhythmic precision. We seem to be understanding the hold/cut concept much better than last season. This was also seen on the pipes later in the evening. Hurrah for the pipers!
The drummers were also outstanding. During chanter and piping sessions they really kept things moving along, with precision. It seems that the concept of drumming to 6/8 tunes is coming along nicely. Excellent job drummers! The Honor Our Fallen/Going Home impromtu set...a sign of good things to come!
Tone, rhythmic precision, and ensemble...good goals for the band to continue and improve on this year.
The sheriff is providing a bus for transport to Ft. McCoy on 9/11. I believe it will be available at 1500 (3pm), and will leave the S.O. at 1600 (4pm)
