Here you go have a giggle......me with Col Dad at my school in Scotland..... jeeeeez I must have been 17 when that was taken!

The old man was in the military thus we moved all over the world so I was sent to a boarding school in Scotland run by the military at the age of 9 I think. Anyway, there was only 250 of us in the whole school from junior right up to senior years and with the resources of the military behind us we had the time of our lives. We were sailing, shooting, climbing and playing rugby and god knows what else and when we got bored of doing that we went into lessons 
One of the things we had to do though was learn to play either the bagpipes or the drums. I learned the pipes and we had an old grissled pipemajor from the Royal Scots Guards who could be a real bastard, hard as nails but was a world renowed piper - he was a great piper and great guy...RIP John Mac!! Anyway I can remember him during band practice, there would be 22 pipers in a semi-circle and he would be prowling in the centre and if you bummed a note or started getting ahead of the rest he'd come down on you like a ton of bricks.
If you were lucky enough you got to be in the band and that meant bloody hard work as we were not just "any old School band". My first engagement with the band was with you lot!! We were invited by the President to play on board the USS John F. Kennedy when she visited Edinburgh during the Bi-Centennial year in 1975. Thats when I fell in love with America!
Anyway here's a flavour of my old school Pipeband now.....
