A Foot in the Band's Door
My first City of Alexandria Pipes and Drums gig.... sort of...
I played for the first time in public with the band for their monthly gig at Pat Troy's Ireland's Own. We did about 5 sets, then retired to enjoy some beer. I'm still not a proper member of the band yet, but my teacher (and Pipe Sergeant) was pitching my qualifications to the Pipe Major after the set.
I did well, except for the bit where my drones squealed during my strike-in for Amazing Grace. Oh well. Better luck next time.
