Elevation To Grade 1
1989 saw the band win its first Grade 1 contest, at Moira, beating Field Marshal Montgomery into second place - this was also the band's first outing in Grade 1. They were narrowly beaten into second place at the All Ireland that year also, as the Moira result was reversed - the contest was recorded by Lismor Records and the album is now a collectors item.

Famous quotes containing the words elevation and/or grade:
“In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around, and nearly every book represents what my son’s third grade teacher refers to as a “teachable moment.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
