March, Strathspey and Reel

The March, Strathspey and Reel or MSR is a set of tunes consisting of a march, a strathspey and a reel, three different simple time metres.

Competition format

It is a common format in light music solo bagpiping and pipe band competitions.[1]

Sometimes the march is played separately from the strathspey and reel.

The contrast between the time signatures is an important feature of the MSR.[2]

The other common format for pipe band competitions is the medley.

gollark: That shouldn't *really* involve downloading and running some shady binary.
gollark: I mean, assuming you have a student loan or whatever, then you do not technically owe them money, you owe some loan agency money.
gollark: ... and why would that mean that them spying on you is okay?
gollark: What does owing them money have to do with it?
