Video of my Piobaireachd, "MacCrimmon's Sweetheart", from the Chicago Games. I was happy with my performance but did not place in the top 6 out of 16 competitors.
Judges remarks:
-Chanter – Bold-balanced
-Drones – Decently tuned
-Good overall sound
-Ground
-Well paced start
-Low A a shade long before E
-Darado light
-Flowing in line 2
-A more deliberate approach to the final bar in each line is warranted
-Var 1
-Even cadence? Why the change, this interrupted the flow/pattern that you started in the ground
-Again, line 2 has a better flow
-Whatever you do in the ground, rhythmically, musically, you need to continue through out the tune, esp. similar variations
