      Good to hear The Coan sounding so well.
      In the morning the drumming was excellent and the piping was very well phrased and controlled. A bad D sneaking in there but the rest sounded good.
      The medley sounded good too. D's more apparent here and a few other bits and pieces. They certainly didnt disgrace themselves!
