March Order Of Play
The order of play for the March amateurs is now available!
Competitions will continue to be split across two room at the Scottish Rite. Please check in at the desk for more details on tune up and competition rooms.
Regarding the February recordings, there were some unexpected technical issues with the recordings. The footage for the pipers failed to save entirely and the drumming audio had issues with cracking and popping. Apologies to anyone expecting a recording, we believe we'll have these issues addressed on Saturday
