What a season! The 04 / 05 season comes to an end with the band achieving all of its goals for this year. The Canadian & North American Championships, 3rd at Bridge of Allen Scotland, 6th at the Worlds in Glasgow and the PPBSO Grade 1 Champion Supreme title.
Planning is already underway for 05/06 season and practice will begin in the near future in Campbellville.
A Special Welcome Back to bass drummer,Big John Rowe who was recently given a clean bill of health by the surgeon who conducted his back surgery. John's recovery has gone very well and his strength is continuously improving allowing his return sooner than expected.
While on the subject of bass drummers, a special thank you must go out to Bob Hartleib who stepped up to the plate on very short notice to fill in for John while he was away. 3 weeks practice, then initiation by fire - the result, a Canadian Championship. On behalf of the 78th Fraser Highlanders, thanks Bob, your contribution kept us in the game!
Keep an eye open for information on Celtfest 06! A one day piping and drumming workshop hosted by the 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band.
78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band t-shirts (2005 version) are available through the web site at $20.00 Cand. $17.00 U.S.
