Pictures from a Competition

I don't usually have an opportunity to wander round the field during pipe band competitions, but I did manage to grab a few minutes at the 2017 European Pipe Band Championships at Forres, and took a few shots. Bear in mind that almost all these clips are of bands tuning or warming up. The only two competition performances are by the two army bands.
