update 2/1/2009: missing tenor drum results added
Great turnout for the 2nd mini-gathering of the season, and a lot of talent was on display. Micah Babinski judged piping events, and John Scullion from Northern Ireland (in town for the Mastery of Scottish Arts events beginning the 6th of February) judged drumming. Washington is continuing to see great growth in talent and continued growth of interest in bagpiping and drumming. Our season of monthly competitions give the community an opportunity to keep in touch, and for pipers and drummers to keep their focus on improvement and building skills and preparing for the summer competition season.
Competitions were held in every grade level in piping, with two competitors in both Grade 2 and Grade 1; a first in the last several years.
It’s fun to see everyone in the community turn out, there were at least eight of top bagpipe instructors in Washington present, in addition to several of the top drumming instructors (not to mention our judge from Ireland), and a whole host of volunteers, supporters and parents, visiting, catching up on some of the stories of the past summer and listening to the wide variety of music of the Great Highland Bagpipe.
