Round Up!

Man, how the weekends roll by quickly when you're having fun!
The BC Highland Games have come and gone and hosted an outstanding Grade 1 contest this year. Alberta Caledonia made the trek westward to delight us with a nice sound and very dynamic drum corps. SFU is gaining momentum as the season progresses with Triumph Street so close behind, it's not funny. Triumph Street are going to do quite well in the Qualifying Round of the Worlds this year if they continue playing this well.
James P. had a great showing in the solos that day with two 2nds in the Piobaireachd and H/J and winning the March contest. Full results for all solo events that day can be found at www.bcpipers.org.
Canada Day passed without much bravado at the Troy household but James W. and I ventured overseas to Port Angeles with the GVPPB for July 4th. The band was hosted by the MV Coho and participated in the local parade. Thanks to the Coho and the city of Port Angeles for such great hospitality.
That same weekend was the Kincardine Highland Games out in Ontario. Hamilton Police pulled out another win in the Grade 2 contest. Congrats guys! They are well on their way to putting in a great performance at the 2009 Worlds.
