What's New
(Last Updated 19th August 2005)
This page is intended to give you a quick overview of things
that are going on in the Band and the pipe band world
An
excellent result for the Band at the Worlds, finishing ahead of another local
band Torphichen and Bathgate to become
Grade 2
World Champions!
Pipe Major
Ian G Duncan with the Worlds Trophy
This years
World’s Grade 2 was a tough competition with a number of overseas bands in
contention as well as the usual Scottish and Irish Bands.
A few of
the usual judging anomalies were there for all to see, but thankfully we came
out on top. Some of the younger
guys in the band were on cloud 9 for day’s afterwards.
Glen and
David on Cloud 9
The result
at the World’s puts us 7 points clear at the top of the Grade 2 Champion of
Champions table.
So it’s up
to the Grading Committee of the RSPBA now as to whether we’re promoted to Grade
1 or not.
Next week
see’s the final major of the year at Cowal. It’s back to the Medley after three championships of MSR, so
the guys and girls have been working hard to get it back to the perfection
expected by the Ian and Alex.
Let’s hope
for a fair panel of judges, and some decent weather, and it should be an
excellent end to the season.
