Field Marshal Are Scottish Pipe Band Champions

Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band, Northern Ireland, are the new Scottish Champions after a hard fought contest at a warm, dry Levengrove Park, Dumbarton. The win gave P/M Richard Parkes his second championship of the season.

His win sets up a Champion of Champions showdown with Inveraray as we head to the Worlds in August. Both bands have two majors apiece.

The other G1 places went to:

2 Inveraray
3 Boghall
4 Shotts
5 Scot. Power
6 Fife Police

with the drumming going to Inveraray.

Each band had to submit two MSRs, one of which was chosen at the line. The judges for all grades in the Championship were:
