By Ben Duncan, Assistant Pipe Major, George Watson’s College
The Caritas Banner takes place at George Watson’s College on Sunday, November 24. With 55 young pipers now entered and 29 of them playing in the main Caritas Banner event, it is certain to be a great day of classical pipe music. The event is held in the George Watson’s College Music School which is situated to the rear and left of the main Senior School building. Parking is available on site.
Doors open at 8.00am and the Caritas Banner 18 & Under event starts at 8.30am in the main auditorium. The two 14 & Under events will commence at 9.30am. We welcome all spectators and enthusiasts, entry is free and there will be tea and coffee available for a small donation. Even if you’re in town and fancy dropping in to hear a tune or two, I’m sure the pipers will really appreciate your support.
The event is kindly sponsored by The Piobaireachd Society and Kintail Bagpipes who have provided a beautiful silver practice chanter for the first prize winner.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.
