Yet another Mardi Gras Parade
One way to judge the quality of a bagpipers playing ability is to look at how they do when competing against their peers. I have won many awards, and continue to work to improve my skills as a piper, and as a showman. After all, your event is a show - a production - and you certainly want it to be as good as it can be.
See my awards below. I'm sure you will be satisfied with the performance I put on for you.
