The North American season end is drawing near for Northwest Junior Pipe Band. The Grade 4 band went to the Portland Highland Games at Mt. Hood Community College on July 19th. The drum corps placed first, the ensemble judge placed the band first, and the band tied with White Spot Pipe Band in another close contest between these bands this year. The points were tied, but NWJPB won on ensemble preference. The victory at Portland makes 4th straight first place finish for Northwest Junior Pipe Band.
Two competitions remain before the band leaves for Scotland. NWJPB’s Grade 4 and 5 bands will perform at a free concert on Friday evening at 7:00 PM at the Pacific Northwest Highland Games in Enumclaw Washington, then both Grade 4 and Grade 5 bands will compete both Saturday and Sunday July 26th and 27th. The band has signed up two bagpipe quartet competition groups, the Grade 5 drum corps drum salute and a bunch of solo competitors as well.
Here’s a shot of the band leaving the competition circle in front of the packed grandstands at Portland:
