Corrections
- Reel: 1st & 2nd lines, last bar, D gracenote removed from D (!) at very end of 1st beat.
Notes
- March: Hold every dotted 8th-note as long as possible, then hold it some more. This goes double for the High G's.
The whole tune builds up to the 1st bar of the last line. The judges will be waiting to hear it, so we must play it
confidently.
- Strathspey: Big 1st & 3rd beats througout the tune. The Low A's in the 2nd bar of the 1st & 2nd lines should just be a
touch, almost as if it were written as a double-dotted 8th to a 32nd. Hold the F in the 1st beat of last bar of 1st & 2nd line.
