World Piping Championship

Glascow Scotland 08/15/09
What a great day for the piping world. For the first time BBC broadcasted the piping championship worldwide via internet, the entire Grade 1 premliminary and final rounds. Quality of the webcast was excellent. The field of competitors was the best I have ever seen or heard.

Simon Fraser University won their second straight world championship, in a very close contest with FMM and SLOT. What a great thing to see live, as it happened. Rounding out the top six were Strathclyde Police, Schott's and Dykehead, an Boghall and Bathgate.
The grade 2 winner was Inveraray and District, claiming their 4th Championship of the season.

Congrats to all of the competitors, and special thanks to BBC.
