No lament for Viscount at Montreal

Montreal – August 2, 2015 – The recently formed Viscount Park Pipe Band of Edmonton won the three-band Grade 2 competition at the Montreal Highland Games, an event run by the Quebec Pipe Band Association. The contest follows the North American Championships at Maxville, Ontario, so there were a few sore heads on the park. The event was very well attended by spectators, many from Montreal’s strong Scottish immigrant community.
