Doves

Quiet but busy weekend.

Came back just now from Woodland, after practicing with Sally's group (Woodland Dance Academy) for "Coppelia" in May. Made a visit to the Yolo County Fair Grounds to catch the tail end of the annual Scottish Games there, but Jeannie had already left, and all their meat pies were sold. Drat! Caught a glimpse of peripatetic Whyt on her way out, however, which was nice.

There was one last show, though: massed pipers and drums (about 100 each) advanced onto the field for awards. Very impressive - I've always liked bagpipes, and to see about 100 playing in unison was quite a sight (and sound). A single bagpiper played "Amazing Grace," brilliant white doves were released into the storm-cloud filled sky, and the massed musicians left playing "Scotland, The Brave."
