The heat was held at the National Piping Centre’s auditorium and judged by a group of unidentified pipers in the audience. They were the ones looking very serious.
Also competing:
- Nicholas Shelburn, Brisbane
- Liam Forrest, Mission City, British Columbia
- Alex Pavlovic, USA
Each contestant had to perform an MSR, a hornpipe & jig and a medley.
Each of the next three Pipe Idol heats are held on successive days, with the Grand Final to determine the champion staged on Thursday, August 15th, also at the National Piping Centre’s MacPhater Street headquarters.
Cameron Bonar of Surrey, British Columbia, won last year’s Pipe Idol.
