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:
“Through all opposition the personal benefits of the reform [dress] [bracketed word in original] have compensated; but had it been mainly sacrifice, the thought of working for the amelioration of women and the elevation of humanity would still have been the beacon-star guiding me on amid all discouragements.”
—Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)
“Life begins at six—at least in the minds of six-year-olds. . . . In kindergarten you are the baby. In first grade you put down the baby. . . . Every first grader knows in some osmotic way that this is real life. . . . First grade is the first step on the way to a place in the grown-up world.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
