The World Pipe Band Championships in 2010 were held on Friday and Saturday, August 13 and 14. Both of the Minnesota Police Pipe Band bands (grade 3 and grade 4) played on Friday.
While neither band fared well enough to continue playing in the finals of their grades, the experience was regarded as wonderful, exceptional, out-of-this world, etc…
A few of us also purchased tickets to watch the Grade 1 finals, which is always a great experience.
Here are some pics from the grade 4 MPPB band warming up and playing in competition as well as St. Laurence O’Toole Pipe Band grade 1 band playing.
