2004
More great strides were made in 2004. The band for the first time in its history gained prizes in all five major championships, beginning with a 4th prize at the Scottish Championships in Dumbarton. At the British Championship in Turriff the band moved up another notch in the pecking order, taking 3rd. Next up was the European Championships in Lisburn, and again the band went one better, 2nd. Could the ultimate be achieved at the next major, the Worlds? Not quite, but a very credible 6th prize was gained and the celebrations continued long into the night (and next morning!) The band finished off the season at the Cowal Championships in Dunoon with a 3rd prize. Next up, the All Ireland Solo Championships which again this proved very successful for the band players. Alen Tully and Stephen Creighton took both Senior Piping and Drumming,Stewart MacLeod took the Junior Piping and Conor Sherry finished joint 2nd in the Intermediate Drumming.
