Cobourg Highland Games - 1st Place!

View fullsize

For the very first time, our band won our first PPBSO trophy.  We started learning our competition medley back in September and we have not looked back since.  Practicing 3 times a week for the last 5 months finally paid off!  Not only did our band win the overall Grade 5 prize, we also won "Best Drums & Best Bass" of the day for our grade.  Congrats to our solo competitors who also put up some amazing results!

Hats off to everyone for a great performance.  Our sites are now set on Kincardine which is this coming weekend!

Georgetown Highland Games - 2nd Place!

On Saturday, our Grade 5 competition band played the season opener in Georgetown.  There were 13 bands in our grade and we ended up coming out 2nd overall!  Our drum corps took 1st and "Best Drums" for the day and we also took 1st in ensemble.  The band was one point out of 1st place, hoping to improve on a few small issues for the Cobourg games which are next weekend.

Great job band!

Practicing Outside!

With the warm weather upon us, our band will be doing the majority of our practicing outside for the rest of the summer.  We encourage anyone who is interested in the band or to simply just hear us play, stop by on a Monday night.  We typically will be on our instruments from 8:15pm until 9pm.

Check out the size of our band!  20+ pipers, 4 tenors and 7 sides!  Barrie has not seen a pipe band this size in decades.
