Panel’s World’s prize picks on-the-money
Our panel of piping and drumming pundits were remarkably accurate when it came to predicting the top six Grade 1 bands at World Pipe Band Championships.
The final result was:
1. Field Marshal Montgomery
2. Simon Fraser University
3. House of Edgar-Shotts & Dykehead
4. Strathclyde Police
5. ScottishPower
6. St. Laurence O’Toole

On the other hand, the panel picked only half of the bands that ultimately went through from the qualifying contest.
went through and our panel picked only Clan Gregor, Western Australia Police, and Dysart & Dundonald to make the cut. The panel even picked North American Champions Toronto Police to go through to the final, and then be neck-and-neck with the Strathclyde Police for sixth prize.
Fortunately for all bands and spectators the weather prediction was spot-on-the-money, with warm and sunny conditions, perfect for a band contest.
