If you find yourself looking for some friendly pipe band competition when you’re arm chairing it from your living room instead of out on Glasgow Green then pick one of 8 BINGO cards produced by Llano Estacado (and District) Pipe Band’s own Nick Smith. Each time you hear a particular March, Strathspey, or Reel mark it on your chosen BINGO card. First to get 5 in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins!
