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:
“All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all. I am just like everybody else.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“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)
