PROGRAM

Band practices concentrate on the fundamentals of correct technique, musical expression, tuning and unison of playing. As much as possible, the band practices on pipes and drums rather than practice chanters and pads.

During the first half, learners take part where possible as the band practices the more basic tunes in its repertoire. The second half concentrates on more advanced pieces such as competition tunes.
