In Honour of Georgetown...

Congratulations to the Hamilton Police Pipe Band for winning Grade 2 at the Georgetown Highland Games in Ontario this weekend. They are firm supporters of JWT Reedmakers, playing our product throughout their highly successful seasons in Grade 3 and now in Grade 2. P/M Peter Aumonier is a long time family friend....more like family really...taking lessons from James W., playing in City of Victoria PB for years and housing us Troy kids at various times during our stays in Toronto. He's the king of the pep talk and is notorious for getting people fired up. Not to mention his unforgettable motivational quotes. And we love him for it. As his parents still reside here in Victoria, he stops in from time to time. Not too long ago, Peter arrived at the shop door, wine bottle in hand ready for some killer reeds to take back to the kids in Hamilton to blow in. (Tone Sandwich - you bring the bread and I'll bring the meat).
Here are some pictures from that day....



Jamie takes a turn while Pete tunes some drones.


After business is taken care of...





Thanks to Ryan (http://www.ryanmacdonaldphotography.com/) for documenting the afternoon.
As the contest season is well underway, we're all practicing, competing and playing hard. We'd love to hear of your successes and/or adventures throughout the season, wherever you are! Feel free to drop us a comment or even an email.
Good luck and keep those drones tuned!
-Jacquie
