Simon Fraser University Takes World’s

Glasgow, Scotland – August 11, 2001 – The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band were crowned World Pipe Band Champions at Glasgow Green today in an event that was, by all accounts, very tightly contested.

The Grade 2 event, which the MacTarnahan’s Prince Charles Pipe Band of San Francisco, California, was informed that it would have to play in only two weeks week before, was won by the Queensland Highlanders of Australia. 1st Royal Engineers took Grade 3A.

The win for SFU marked its fourth World Championship victory in seven years. The Robert Malcolm Memorial juvenile band, which is part of the massive SFU organization, won the Juvenile grade.

Both Field Marshal Montgomery and Shotts & Dykehead had been heavily favoured to take the Grade 1 title. The second prize for Shotts lifts them ahead further in the Champion of Champions standings.
