James P. Wins BIG at Vancouver Indoor

James P. swept the Professional Piping events at the Annual Gathering held at SFU this past weekend - taking the MacCrimmon Memorial Cairn for Piobaireachd, the Duncan J. MacInnis Memorial and the Donald MacDonald Memorial trophies for MSR and Jigs, as well as the Pro Aggregate trophy and Donald MacIver Memorial trophy for most points overall. This all came with a trip to Scotland to compete at a competition of his choice as well as a pick-up truck to haul the trophies home. The judges were Alastair and Margaret Dunn.

Pictures to follow.

He also found the time to judge some of the individual piping as well as ensemble for the band contests....

On the band note, I'm sure you've heard the recent rumblings about the Spirit of Scotland Pipe Band, sponsored by Glenfiddich.
