July 14th, 2007 – Mt. Vernon, WA
Northwest Junior Pipe Band Grade 5 (beginners) took 1st place of 2 pipe bands at the 13th annual Skagit Valley Highland Games.
Northwest Junior Pipe Band Grade 4 placed 4th out of 6 bands. Each time Grade 4 takes the field, the band has improved over the last competition….this time the “Ensemble” Judge ranked the band in 1st place. Comments were provided by the judges which the band will continue to learn from. Competing and receiving comments and feedback from the best piping and drumming judges in the region helps provide an important part of the excellent cultural music education NWJPB strives for.
