Congratulations to Pipe Major Richard Parkes, Drum Sergeant Keith Orr and all the band's pipers, drummers and supporters on winning the Grade One World Championship at the RSPBA's World Pipe Band Championships held on Glasgow Green on the 17th and 18th August 2018.

We see here the band's reaction as Ian Embelton, Chief Executive of the RSPBA, announces the winners (edited). The band then marches off Glasgow Green playing part of their winning medley. The band is led by its Drum Major Emma Barr who had won the adult Drum Major contest. Congratulations to Emma!

It had been a very dull day. The light was poor by 5 pm and it was almost dark by the march off. The video picture is pretty grim, but it does record the excitement of the moment.

Finally, we go back the band's first competition performance, a march, strathspey and reel set on the Friday. This was performed in Arena 2 which has intimacy and informality. The MSR set was:

March: Lord Alexander Kennedy (traditional)
Strathspey: The Shepherd's Crook (traditional)
Reel: Charlie's Welcome (traditional)
