Harry’s 2016 Raspberry Awards

The Me Thinks the Judge Doth Protest Too Much Award

Like everything in piping and drumming, it got back to Harry that some “senior” Scottish solo piping judges (well, one in particular) and a few gathering organizers are allegedly using intimidation tactics on active pipers and select others who are seen to support said ban on teachers judging students. Reportedly gone so far as cornering folk in toilets and veiled threats about “consequences” on the boards if they don’t shut up. Here’s a solution: just refuse to play for these bullies. Stage a grassroots boycott – strength in numbers, and that. Stand up to the bullies and they’ll slink away like they always do.
