Piping Live! 2014 – p|d’s daily picks for what to hit

Wednesday, August 13
Competition Psychology – 2 pm, National Piping Centre
Those competing in the quartets the night before might have benefited from this session, where Dr. Fiona McConnochie, an expert in sports psychology, will conduct a workshop of techniques and exercises to help pipers overcome mental obstacles and, well, get through it. Free!

“Ceolry,” Greater Glasgow Police Pipe Band Pre-World’s Concert – 7:30, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
It’s the concert of the year, and we understand the band and friends will deliver almost three hours of Gaelic-infused content. At only $40 a ticket, this is huge value to any self-respecting piper or drummer.
