Mad PROPS to that Bagpiper!! He's got a set of lungs on him! Chasing that Principal around while still playing the ENTIRE time.

do u know how bag pipes work? the bag holds air so u can take breaths and not stop playing...

I'm afraid that I must vehemently disagree -- to me, there is no such thing as a "beautiful" Scottish bagpipe. If Hell does exist, I imagine it as full of Scottish bagpipers and all of us who hate the sounds of those pipes! Oh, and by the way, NONE of Hell's pipers can get their drones in tune. It would sound like holding a cat under your arm and biting its tail.

@@johndemeritt3460 I’m a piper, have been playing 30+years. Sorry you dislike my heritage so much. But I have to ask…the video’s title does include the word “bagpiper” in it, so it’s not like it was a surprise. Why’d you click? Masochism?

@johndemeritt3460 25 күн бұрын

@@Ma660t5andw1ch, please accept my sincere apologies, since I did not intend to insult bagpipers: it's just that pipes offend my personal set of aesthetics. That said, I clicked because I wanted to see how quickly the senior who pulled the prank would be booted off campus. While I was a bit disappointed that he wasn't, I was amazed by the grace with which the principal took this prank! I remember a joke popular among musicians that claims the Irish gave the Scots the bagpipes, but the Scots never got the joke! But, of course, the Irish have pipes of their own -- and despite disparaging remarks I've made about the Scottish pipes, I have to admit I LOVE the Irish pipes. May there be peace between us, and your pipes always be in tune!
