I felt pretty foolish!!!!
My current pipe band plays America the Beautiful, but when they get to the end they slow way down. Nobody mentioned this to me. Since we only had five or six pipers at that gig, it was VERY OBVIOUS that I played the ending at tempo and held the last note out to keep my drones up.
