Orgnanised Bedlam!

Glasgow, Scotland

A day at the World Pipeband competition at Glasgow Green
I tried to find an image, of the many I took, that captured the atmosphere of the event

The hum of the drones, the skirl of the pipes, the twirls of the tenors, the rasp of the snares, the vibrant colour of the uniforms
259 bands, over 4000 pipers, all looking for the coveted prize of world champions in front of 53,000 spectators
The tenor drummer of St Laurence O'Toole (Ireland) can be seen in full concentration as they went on to be crowned grade 1 champions
