St. Laurence O'Toole Pipe Band - 2003

2003

The 2003 season saw prizes gained at three of the major championships in Scotland. After a shaky start at the first major (Dumbarton), the band went on to gain placings at the British, Cowal and European Championships - three 5th's in all. They narrowly lost out on the All Ireland title once again to the Field Marshal Montgomery. The band won the medley, best bass and tenor and also the drum corp retained their crown from the previous season. The winner on the day was decided on MSR piping preference as both bands were tied on overall points. The band also finished up 9th overall at the World Pipe Band Championships, winning the morning qualifying round with ease. With a little more luck on the day the band could have finished in the overall prizes as they were 6th in the MSR in the final but too far down in the medley .
