The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band was excited to participate again at the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green. It was great to be back on the grass and playing in the Grade 1 Arena again after the COVID break.


Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band took 1st place overall with the SFU Pipe Band placing 6th on the day. The SFU Pipe Band drum corps won the top drumming prize and are the World Pipe Band Drumming Champions for 2022! This is the sixth time Lead Drummer Reid Maxwell has led a group to the world title; five times with SFU Pipe Band and once with 78th Fraser Highlanders.
