 Nashville Feis Review
On a related subject, we were shocked that the Adults were asked to dance their Treble Reel at the same time as everyone else.
Given the speed with which the rest of the feis ran (not to mention that stages E and F went unused after lunch because their comps were done), I'm wondering if running the Adults up on stage G in the morning is such a good idea.
On a related subject, the Treble Reel first place trophy was so large that a dropped pen in its vicinity would go into orbit around it.

The reels seem slow to me even though they are at danceable speeds.
The traditional Treble Jig is a bit slow for traditional speed but you could get a musician that plays it at 81 and not 92.
There are several reels on this collection with tempos from 112 to 121, which gives you a variety of dance speeds based on your level.

 Highland bagpipe music for fingerstyle guitar by Glenn Weiser
Pipe tunes range in tempo from the air to the slow march, retreat, march, quickstep, strathspey, reel, hornpipe, and jig.
Highland folk songs, lullabies, croons, and slow marches make up the middle music, and marches, strathspeys, reels and jigs are the little music.
When the harmony moved to the D chord, I pinched the open D and third string A. Because an octave was not really feasible as a bass for the D chord (the bass and the treble parts would have overlapped), a fifth had to do.
