Band Upgrades...

"As of today, December 30th 2007, the BCPA board approved the recommendations from a panel of experts (both within the BCPA, PPBSO and the RSPBA) with a unanimous vote to promote the Dowco-Triumph Street Pipe Band to Grade One."

This promotion marks the 13th grade I pipe band in North America and second in British Columbia.

Every band looks forward to the day they get upgraded; it shows the culmination of a lot of hard work that has finally paid off and does wonders for morale. Congratulations to all recently upgraded bands throughout the piping community and to all who have accomplished the goals they've set out to conquer. The only direction to go is up; I hope everyone uses this time to look back on what's been overcome and look forward to what's to come next.

That is way cool, Justin.

Congratulations to Triumph Street, and all those involved in the organization. Now things can get interesting for SFU again!

Any word on whether this will change the situation re: travelling to Scotland for the Worlds in 2008?
