Food and merchandise booths. Lots of music and a few workshops. Many of the participants are children, or teens. Jennifer Irwin from Carleton Place was in the big white dance tent with her daughters. It's traditional highland dancing. I didn't dance, but my sister did.
The girls have been dancing since they were questions her oldest daughter three? Eh, Leah, three? She's fourteen now, so eleven years. Now I take it a lot more seriously, than I did when I was little. I wanted to do better myself, and look better on stage. Just to remember everything my teacher has told me, like turn out, point your feet, jump high enough. On the other side of the fairgrounds, long-time teacher and judge, Hugh Cameron was tuning a drum.
One of his students, Graham Ricketts-Moncur stayed loose with some practice drills. It's a very high-pitched sound.
And it delivers a lot of clarity so, you can have a lot of people, playing a lot of detail. And they, hopefully, can be heard. As time went on, I realized there was a lot more subtleties in it, than I had first perceived.
Do you have friends that do this, or does everyone look at you like, 'What? A kilt? Are you nuts? Though, obviously, some of my closer friends think it's kind of weird.
Like, they call it an skirt, and, you know? But they like the drumming part of it. They think the drumming part is really cool.
But, yeah. They are accepting of it, I should say. On the other hand, the World War two guys were, you know, no underwear under the kilt and were super macho. So, it's like you got it both directions. It's a very old kind of music.
Fundamentally pagan. A little bit in your face. If you don't like pipes, it tends to annoy you, because it's hitting you in the body in a certain way. And if you do like it, it's hitting you in that way and you tend to be mesmerized by it. It all comes to a peak at the grandstands.
One by one, three sky jumpers float down, with a Scottish, American and Canadian flag, fluttering behind. Song ends to applause.
