Good or bad, these kids are doing something other than looking at their cell phones or getting high. God bless them, God bless Scotland, God bless us all!

[terrygauld]

brilliant, I am from NE Scotland and this band can feel proud of its performance, it was inventive, played with a swagger as it should be. You would go down well here

[jhonsaxon]

Early morning dew cold and green grass school parade ground and dusky morning light with a bit sunrise later on. All these comes to mind when listening to this music.

For all the people hating on them, they are just a bunch of school kids doing this for fun and its a school band. Don't tell me they have to be perfect and yeah one more thing, would y'all be able to play something totally different from your culture and from a totally different country? Y'all can't play instruments from here either, i even doubt you know something other than from your own country. So please no need for extra sticks for these school children, instead motivate them.
