Scottish Pipe Band Championships – Field Marshal Triumph

Field Marshal Montgomery (pictured today) were declared Scottish Pipe Band Champions at a warm and largely dry Levengrove Park, Dumbarton. The victory gave P/M Matt Wilson and P/Sgt Ben Duncan their first championship win. The Scottish was considered by many to be the first for Grade 1 this year given that the UK event at Ingliston, Edinburgh, earlier in the month only attracted two entries. Ten played at Dumbarton.

The other G1 places went to:

2 Inveraray
3 Shotts
4 Fife Police
5 SLOT
6 Boghall

with the drumming going to SLOT.

Each band had to submit two Medleys, one of which was chosen at the line. The judges in Grade 1 were: Piping – Mark Faloon, Robert Shaw; Ensemble – Cameron Edgar; Drumming – Jim Baxter.
