5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: the big set today. But before getting into that, I

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: asked about the international flavor and if you got to

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: meet some of the other crews and where they were from.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: A couple Australian bands, India, I think there was an

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: Indian bandy yeah, and then like there were a couple

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: of different Middle East like countries bands from their countries,

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: which sort of surprised me quite a few like schools,

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: so many people, which was really cool. You have a

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 2: little band from New Zealand and then you know you've

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: stained to finished plan. All the cheers are gon up,

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: not throwing cheers, but you know, yeah.

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: We understood what you mean. Clarification.

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was awesome. It's like real, real loud

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: and no, it was cool. And then as soon as

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: you come off, everyone's like real, real happy, real proud.

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Everyone's got smiles on their faces. It was that was

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: pretty cool. And then it's about an hour after that

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: when the finals were so we're thirty and Grade three

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: A and then so there were fifteen in each heat,

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: so we're two heats for fifteen, and there was about

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: an hour after that where we found out who was

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: in the final, so the White Boar came out and

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: seeking on the list was our band, so we're like

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: straight away like yelling and ye. So yeah, yeah, so

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: now it was cool. We had about forty five minutes

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: from then to put our plights together and and chune

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: up again and we played played our midley this time,

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: so that was that's out the longer sid of the

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: two and arguably the more fun and cool one to play,

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: just because you know you can do whatever you want

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: really and immediately. So yeah, we went and went and

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: played that on the board and it was another solid performance.

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was as as good as the

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: first ems, but it was still quite good. So it

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: was really cool. We got I think we pulled a

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: third out of the bag for piping, like one of

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: the judges placed us placed us third, Wow, which was

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: pretty cool. And then yeah, overall ended up seventh, so

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: just missed out on They do trophies for the first

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: six for the top six so yeah, we just missed

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: out on the fringe. But seventh at a thirty in

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: the world, is we simply took that?

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 3: What are they judging on?

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot to take in. There's like the

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: picture of the chant. Everyone's chant is sounding the same,

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: how the chant is behaving like, is there like when

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: you put a thinger down on a hole? Was there?

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Is there a squealing chanter that's not quite tuned rightly?

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 3: Is zero?

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: Chine had to tune the little bit of tape not

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: on the whole right? Then you got the everyone's blowing?

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Is everyone blowing? Steady around? Walk around behind everyone and listen,

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: really listen to the drone? So there are any like

58
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 2: like going up and down?

59
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: So your breathing needs to be in tune with everybody else.

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, essentially, Yeah, he's just gonna everyone's going to be

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: buying tone and at tone and at the same tone

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: as everybody else for it to sound like one and

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: really sound the same.

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about that ch almost like it's a

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: living being? Does it?

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: Does it almost feel like that at times?

67
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: The way we have to look after it and maintain it, Yeah,

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: a baby, Yeah, Yeah, it so much can go wrong.

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: In such a short amount of space of time, so

70
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: you really got to take care of it. That's what

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: you're much like, much like the rest of the pipes.

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: Have you named your chanted I haven't named my.

73
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: Relationship.

74
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,080
