Our parade and competition season has come to a close.  What a summer we had.  Four parades, a couple of outstanding civic events, two highland games, one incredible fundraiser and to close out the season honored once again to play for the NH 9/11 stair climb

Congratualtions to our Instructor Kirk Brunson on his first place overall finish for Grade 1 at the NH Hignland Games.  Congratualtions to Pipe Sgt Rick Tustin for taking part in two games this season as a Grade 4 Sr competitor, and to our Drum Major Eric Parsons who looked great in the Drum Major competition.  The band continues to improve it’s performance in the competition field as was shown in our remarks.  Although we may not have finished in the top 3 we gave it our best and look forward to an even better season next year.

Mark your calendars now, the 2014 Burns Dinner hosted by the Scots Highland Pipes & Drums will be held February 1, 2014 in Leominster.  We have been asked again to be the guest band and to play with the Scots Highland.  Please visit back often as we will continue to post information on this fun night.

Look for info on our own fundraiser for 2014.  Knight’s Night 2014 will be held March 15th as we kick off  what surely will be a great St Paddy’s weekend celebration.
