Round Hill Games Results
Well I was one of 20 people competing in the Grade 4 SR 2/4 March. I scored an 82, which appears to be the judge's standard low score. In other words, I tied with 6 other people in my group. The competitors were split into two groups for ease and speed of judging.
I created some issues for myself in speeding up the tune. While the tempo was good, the execution wasn't. I should have stayed under tempo.
According to the judge, my tuning was good, and the balance between my chanters and drones were good. I was surprised at this considering I had to ditch my Wygent drone reeds that morning. They were failing due to the humidity.
The judge commented that my chanter sounded thin, and the same judge said the same thing about my bands chanters as well. I think it is due to the higher pitch we were at.
Bottom line, I need to slow down, and I need to lower my pitch.
