Greighlan Crossing get eight firsts at Penticton; Knichel nicks the Open solos

Zephan Knichel has the overall most successful day in the Open solo piping, and Tommi McAndrew
and Malcolm Fuller split the first in the Open solo snare drumming.

The event might have had the most accomplished group of judges of the year, with an uber-qualified panel of Callum Beaumont, Ann Gray, Stuart Liddell, Donald Lindsay, Reid Maxwell and Steven McWhirter making the decisions.
