November 3rd, 2026 – I was invited to play at an international school in the Bangkok metroplex. The students and many of the teachers seemed to really enjoy having me as a special guest to do some November School Bagpiping.
The first part of the performance was to march through the dining area of the students and staff.
– the concrete floor of the school was great for the sound of the pipes to bounce off and fill the whole open area with some traditional Scottish music.
Getting to play on stage for the students at their lunch. It was fun to have the kids come over to watch and engage in the performance.
The last opportunity was to come into a classroom to show the pipes and talk about how they work. A bit of a demonstration was given as well, of course.
The kids had some good questions, and for many of them, it was their first chance to see the bagpipes in person.
