2004 Contests
|
Winnipeg Scottish Festival |

Band plays brand new medley and new MSR. Lots of new players, new L/D...much better in medley than MSR, but overall a promising start. |
|
Brandon Highland Festival Brandon, MB |
April 24 |
Band plays both MSR and medley. Played a very nice MSR, and a pretty good medley. Still working out harmonies, and tried a new break reels-air today. Better tone than Maxville 2003, with lots of room to improve. |
|
Moose Jaw Highland Festival |
May 22 |
Band plays medley and MSR. Playing up from Grade 3 is a very nice band: Durham Regional Police from Ontario. Durham wins drumming and ensemble (huh?) and takes the medley event, we win MSR and overall. |
|
May 23 |
Band plays two very good sets, and cleanly wins both events. Soloists from the band do well in Grade 1 events, and our junior band also wind Saskatchewan Championship in their grade. |

April 26 |
Band plays both MSR and medley. Getting better, but too many rookie tone & note errors. Only Grade 2 band in contest. |
|
Moose Jaw Highland Festival |
May 17 |
Band plays medley and MSR. Mix up at line re: which set (medley or MSR) due to contest mixing sheets around. Pretty good set with some horrendous tonal issues. Lose to Big Rock Pipe Band (Edmonton) in both events. |
|
May 18 |
Better on day two. Win both events, but not cleanly. Big Rock provides excellent competition. |
|
|
Glengarry Highland Games Maxville, ON |

The CRPB had an excellent play in the medley, and a mediocre MSR. The overall result was 8th or 9th...very disappointing, and a large dose of reality therapy. |
|
Montreal Highland Games |
August 5 |
After spending the night sleeping on the band bus (our Montreal hotel rooms were given away) we played a very good medley, with room to improve. Given the circumstances, it was a good performance. Now, back to the drawing board... |
