Award-winning Annan pipe band opts not to appear in Riding of the Marches parade
The Royal Burgh of Annan Pipe Band has blamed a change in the piping competition calendar for the move Annan's award-winning pipe band will not appear in this year's Riding of the Marches parade. The Royal Burgh of Annan Pipe Band has blamed a change in the piping competition calendar for the move, which has attracted criticism on social media. But the band say they still plan to take part in the pipe band competition at Annan Academy on Riding of the Marches Day on July 5. A statement posted on the band's Facebook page read: 'Unfortunately, we need to announce to you that this year we will have limited participation in the Annan ROM festivities. 'Due to a change in the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association's competition calendar, we have made the incredibly tough decision not to play in the ROM parade or the massed bands at night this year. 'We believe the ROM organisers are looking to make alternative arrangements so that you can still enjoy the sounds of the pipes at the close of the day. 'This is not a decision we have taken lightly as we love nothing more than seeing the townspeople enjoy the spectacle, but competing remains our number one priority. 'The following week we will be competing in our first major championship of the year at Edinburgh, so we need to do everything in our power to protect the instruments for this so that we can show up in top form to show the world what Annan can do. 'It is not all bad news for our fans though, you will still be able to see us at the playing fields on the day of ROM competing in the grade two contest. Watch this space for when the order of play is announced so you know exactly when to see us. 'We hope you all understand and hopefully next year the calendar realigns, and we can go back to entertaining you all.' The announcement was slammed, with one person replying: 'Supporting your own gala day is more important as far as I'm concerned. Poor decision making.' Another added: 'This is very disappointing news. The grand finale won't be the same if it's not the Annan band playing. Whether there is only a handful of local members or not, they play in the Royal Burgh Of Annan Band surely the clue is in the name. 'To let us know you'll be competing at the field on the day but not on the high street is a bit of a kick in the teeth to the town. 'Very disappointed to read this, it's one of the very few times we get to see the Annan band play.' Some also questioned why the band would be taking part in the competition but not the parade and massed bands performance at night. Pipe Major Jamie Smith responded: 'We agree that this may be a disappointment to the local people as it is very much a disappointment to us. 'Our participation is very much weather dependent. 'If it is raining this would cause substantial damage to our drum skins and reeds in the pipes. Usually this wouldn't be an issue as there is a three week gap until our next competition. 'This then gives us time to reset and replace any damages that occur during the bad weather. 'Unfortunately, this years calendar has made us rethink what we do. As the major is the following week, we would only have two practices to turn things around which is no where near enough time for us to be at our optimum level for competing. 'We relayed that information to the ROM organisers and expressed our concerns. As neither of us can predetermine the weather we felt it would be best if another band was sourced on this occasion to guarantee that the spectacle would still go ahead. 'With the change in dates this year, our hands have been tied unfortunately. 'We are hoping the dates go back to normal next year so we can go back to doing what we have done in the past number of years.'

ENG vs WI: McCullum and I have desire that Smith could be unbelievable as white-ball opener, says captain Brook
Jamie Smith will open the batting for England in Thursday's ODI against West Indies at Edgbaston, captain Harry Brook confirmed on Wednesday ahead of the three-match series. 'He's got the strength to do so -- the technique to be able to face the swinging ball,' said Brook, who takes charge of his first match since replacing Jos Buttler as captain. Smith, who will open alongside Ben Duckett, batted at three during England's disappointing Champions Trophy campaign, averaging a meagre eight with a top score of 15. He comes in at seven for the Test team. 'Baz (head coach Brendon McCullum] and I have this desire that he could be an unbelievable white-ball opener,' Brook said. England Playing XI vs West Indies 'I am not saying he has cemented his spot, but he is going to get a good crack. He is such an immense player and can play the moving ball, as we have seen in Test cricket. There is no reason he can't bang it as an opener.' Former captain Buttler and all-rounders Jacob Bethell and Will Jacks are all in the side after returning from the Indian Premier League (IPL) while Joe Root is slated to come in at three with Brook at four. Pace bowlers Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson are all missing because of injuries but Brydon Carse has recovered from a toe issue and will be joined by Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton in the pace attack. England was de-throned as ODI world champion and then suffered a dire Champions Trophy within the space of nine months and Brook said it was time to begin a new chapter. 'Hopefully we can bring a lot of energy, competitiveness and lot of fun out there,' Brook said. 'We want to engage the crowd as much as we can and try to get some wins under our belt. I know lads have sometimes said that we don't care about winning but that's not true. Everybody hates losing.' England is ranked eighth in the ODI standings with West Indies ninth and with only the top eight, excluding hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe, earning automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup, there is plenty at stake in the series. The second match takes place in Cardiff on Sunday with the third at the Oval on Tuesday.

Funnel clouds spotted in KELOLAND Tuesday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Some interesting clouds were spotted yesterday. Meteorologist Scot Mundt has the scoop on what some people saw. Jamie Smith to make announcement Saturday Funnel clouds were spotted on Tuesday. These types of funnels form inside very cold pockets of air when winds at different heights create spin. Because they are usually very high and are small, most cold-air funnels go unnoticed. But John Darcy captured this one in eastern KELOLAND. Cold air funnels are very weak; for that reason, the spin with the funnel isn't even detected on radar, BUT we were able to see this funnel with our Madison LiveCam. Cold air funnels typically occur during showers or thunderstorms in the very center of a low-pressure system. You can see the upper-level low's circulation here as the rain this morning in Minnesota was moving northwest and the rain in western South Dakota was moving southeast. Depending on the location of the upper-level system, I wouldn't be surprised if more funnels were spotted today. While they may look scary, they're usually not dangerous. On rare occasions, cold air funnels reach the ground, but if you feel you're in danger, take it upon yourself to seek shelter. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
