Morning folks!

The new season is upon us.

Of course the Grade 3 band just wrapped theirs up this weekend in Calgary Canmore. The band won Calgary and paced third in Canmore. Couldn't be more proud.

They did however come home with horror stories of freezing to death. Oh well!

Grade 2 had it's first meeting last night. Nice to see we're all eager to get back to work. Lot's of decisions were made. Principally travle ones.

Scotland again. One week this time. No pre contests as we can't afford it. The bigger decision was to not go to Vegas.

The invite to the Vegas contest was a real honor however with a very small amount of travel money to us, we had to decide between Scotland and Vegas. It's to bad as the two trips would nearly cost the band the same amount.

The grade 2 pipe corp will once again grow. Starting roster is around 25 with players coming from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Minnesota, and now Ontario. The drum corp will start with some where between 9 and 11 sides, 3 tenors and 1 Chris Brown! This shows we're on the right track.

Grade 3 will again grow! Bigger pipe corp bigger drum corp. More on that once they're back to work.

There's a big weekend coming up. The Selkirk Settler's parade is Saturday which is a major part of our promotion of Scottish Culture. Honoring those that paved this great community is a high priority in all three bands.

Also the Saspb Golf Tournament is saturday. If you want to play just email me at sean@saspb.com. Then clean your clubs and prepare to be owned by the Fidlers..

That's the update. See you soon!

Cheers,

Sean
