| Regardless of personal opinion towards the compositions played by TPPB, at least they did the sensible thing and played them in a concert setting vs a competition field. Kudos to that... |

| I'm starting to look forward to a new medley like this every year! Love it and would like to hear more. I still think the first one was my favorite, but maybe if I could hear this one unfettered.... |

| I thought this concert was alot of fun and nice to be in such a relaxed atmosphere, at least inside of this club outside a bit sketchy, great to see alot of old friends and I thought the Toronto Police put on a great show. good luck this summer guys. The reggae downstairs was pretty good as well.

| Wow. I really like the concert approach. Somany good performances happen when are bands are in a more relaxed atmosphere. I really like this medley too. It keeps that innovative touch that Torontos been at but seems (to me) to still have a more "traditional" style, to the lay out of it. I also like hearing the drummers playing lots more. That's all. Good luck this summer.
PS, hope it wasn't my weak pc speakers, but did I hear that low A harmony have "dynamic" control? Seemed to have pipers coming off it slowly at the end. Totally good effect! Unless it was my speakers being crappy, than too bad. |

| "But somebody has to make them realize that a bunch of repetative notes written to a rythym doesn't necessarily make it a tune. "
A couple of things jumped out here. If this was sports, this is Michael pulls out his shoe box full of Various Championship rings and His stack of published material. And/or Seamus MacNeill Throws the Kilberry Collection at you. Just saying. Anyone that listens to music know that the majority of it is just that. Notes written to a "rhythm"or not to a rhythm. So long as one doesn't get creative and just play the scale up and down for 5 minutes. |

| Really enjoyed listeining to that. If anything I wanted less 'tune' and more just 'sounds'- ie. much more avant garde but there would probably be no audience if you did that! I wanted to stop these people talking so I could hear better, but I realise the nature of the event was such that they were meant to be talking! I'm just saying I think, that if I'd been them, I'd have found it impossible to talk, for listening. |

| I am at such a quandary about Toronto’s approach to pipe band music. I appreciate what Toronto is doing with taking traditional pipe music and expanding the usual boundaries. It does sound like “Gallus #3” is somewhat of a compromise between “"Idiomatica;" and a standard pipe band melody. I think we as the piping community have to be a bit more supportive of our art. I personally prefer more of the traditional medley, and yes, I do enjoy a good MSR. But I also applaud what Toronto is doing in taking piping outside of the box. Cheers, Davey Armstrong |

| Thanks for your caring comment masonsapron (I'm sure the Mason's organization appreciate people like you taking on their "a man's a man for a' that" moniker) but we're really more concerned about helping people the world over spell the word rhythm. Sorry I can’t write more, I’m late for pipe tune writing school. |

| Great band ! But somebody has to make them realize that a bunch of repetative notes written to a rythym doesn't necessarily make it a tune. | |
