Lol, there won't be many (if any) replies to this post. treat it as strictly a FYI item. Canada can boast proudly about the Simon Fraser University pipe band who each and every year either win or finish 2nd at the world pipe band championships....no easy feat when you consider this band endures a loss of many members upon university graduation. I have taken a peak at the entrance requirements into this band (hint daughter), not only do you need to be a good student, you must be a consistent 1st place winner at many and various competitions throughout the country, so the quality never goes down. This little piece i copied from their website, i think they finished 2nd at the world in 2003. ............................................................................. Since 1981, the SFU Pipe Band has been working hard to meet and beat the current world standard for pipe bands. The band has won most major titles: the World Pipe Band Championship [1995, 1996, 1999, 2001], the World Drum Corps Championship [1999], the North American Championship [1982, 2002 - we won this both times we competed!], the 2001 Australian Pipe Band Championship, and many, many more.
