A Post-Season Bonus!

This week the band received a nice post-season bonus from the Pipers and Pipe Band Society of Ontario when we found out that they have adjusted the final prize list from the Montreal Highland Games. On the day, the PPBSO disqualified the Glengarry Pipe Band after they performed because an official thought that bands had to have two tenor drummers [that rule had already been changed]. After the fact, Glengarry's points were counted back into the mix, but they forgot to adjust all the points. Glengarry's 2nd and 3rd in piping [behind our two 1sts] pushed a couple of bands down, giving us 2nd prize overall, rather than 3rd.

The final result was:

1. Fredericton Society of Saint Andrew Pipe Band [Best Drum Corps]
2. City of Regina Pipe Band [Best Pipe Section]
3. St. Andrew's Society of Winnipeg Pipe Band
4. Glengarry Pipe Band
5. St. Thomas Episcopal Alumni Pipe Band
6. Niagara Regional Police Pipe Band

Special thanks to former CRPB member Gregor Burton for being on top of the numbers, and pointing out the error. Thanks to the PPBSO for making the adjustment. And thanks to the band members for making a great season possible.
