“…Long associated with the military, civilian pipe and drum bands first became established in Scotland in the 1870s, and their popularity soon spread to other countries through Scottish immigrants. The first Canadian civilian pipe and drum band--the Sons of Scotland--was founded in Ottawa in 1896, followed by the establishment of similar groups throughout the country where large numbers of Scottish emigrants settled (Walker 2015).…”

Using the concept of serious leisure as a lens, this study investigated musical engagement in a competitive Grade One Canadian Scottish pipe band, the 78 th Fraser Highlanders, based in Burlington, Ontario. The 78 th Fraser Highlanders are respected in the global piping community for their innovative arrangements and unique repertoire selection. Data was collected over a three-year period in this hybrid ethnographic case study situated in both online and offline contexts. Findings indicate correspondences with other research in the field of serious leisure studies. Themes that emerged from interviews and observation were: 1) centrality of music making, 2) social connectedness, 3) competition/fun, 4) identity and heritage, 5) group dynamics and unique band identity, 6) teaching and learning, and 7) uses of online platforms and social media.

This article explores the role of technology in arousing religious awe from classical antiquity to the time of Emperor Theophilos. People’s fascination with technology ensured that this trend, increasingly popular in Greco-Roman religious festivals from the Hellenistic period onwards, gained pace among Christians after an initial period of rejecting pagan religious aesthetics. Technology was highly prised by both pagan and Christian rulers who typically sought to impress their subjects by displaying the technology available at their disposal. However, while the emperors’ reliance on technology to allude to divine favour was tolerated, technology employed to stage miracles or influence faith was deeply harmful for Christianity. Theophilos’ father is reported by Eutychius to have punished paradigmatically the mastermind of one such mechanically enabled miracle in his native Phrygia. Thus, Theophilos’ iconoclastic views as well as his known obsession with automata are explored as part of a longstanding debate on Christian religious aesthetics.
