Grade 2 tunes

[SteveW]

Just looking for a few yay or nay's on my choices for comp..
Marches : Clan MacColl and 91st at Modder River
Strathspey : Susan MacLeod
Reel: Thompson's Dirk
Jig: Braes of Mellinish.

What do you think?
PPBSO by the way

I don't know the 91st at Modder River, but the rest are great tunes.

You only need one jig for grade 2? I thought it was two but haven't played solos in a couple of years. When was the change?

[SACShug]

Couldn't tell you when the change was Sean; but its only one. I used the Old Wife when i competed this year.

The tunes seems fine,; I'll admit I have no real affection for Susan MacLeod, but it seems appopriate to the Grade level.

Hugh,
We always played two here on the East Coast, two times through.
Maybe I only needed to submit one for Maxville? It's been awhile.

The EUSPBA requires two Jigs or Hornpipe & Jig (1&1). However, when I competed at Maxville two years ago, it was just one jig.

[Go Habs]

We've never had a Horpipe Jig for pipers here in Atlantic Canada.

I thought tune requirements were being standardized across North America?

[SteveW]

Could you elaborate on you opinion for the 91st, gohabs? IS it above or below grade 2?

[Go Habs]

Sorry,
I meant I don't know the tune, so I can't help on whether it's above or below grade level.

The rest of the tunes look fine for grade 2.
