NWJPB Grade 4 travelled to Coquitlam, BC, Canada on Saturday June 26th for the British Columbia Highland Games. The morning started cool and overcast and solo pipers from many different bands were facing challenges with moisture causing tone challenges with their drones and reeds, but NWJPB members managed to pull off some successes on the solo platforms, regardless of the moisture in the air.
As afternoon approached, the sun came out and after 2 grade 5 bands performed, NWJPB was the last of 6 Grade 4 bands to compete. Results were announced at the end of the day, with Northwest Junior Pipe Band receiving 1st place marks from all four judges. NWJPB received the Robert Malcolm Memorial Trophy for the 3rd straight year at the BC Highland Games.
