I don't play, but I see this happen.

Competitive piping (Pipe and Drum)...very serious to those who reach a certain level. There are prizes and money to be had to truly talented people.

The uniforms are made of wool, leather, and have feathers. The fabiricis of brightly colored tartans all attract no shortage of stinging insects.

Watching musicians who are in the middle of judged competitions using both hands and blowing hard...trying to ignore a wasp or carpenter bee landing on thier nose is amazing.

I havent the fortitude to not swat at them...thirsty work just watching.

Think I'll grab a malt.
