Senior Band wins at Watson’s Competition

Congratulations to our pipers and drummers on their success in the Invitational Band & Solo Competition at George Watson’s College on Sunday 3 March.

Dylan (S5) was the winner of the Senior Drumming event with Ailsa (S6) as runner-up.

Lorne (S1) was the winner of the 13 & Under piping event. In the Intermediate Band event Heriot’s were runners-up to Dollar Academy and in the Senior competition Heriot’s were the overall winners. Another highlight was the number of young Heriot’s pipers and drummers who had their competition debut with our Development Band. Overall, a day of excellent Heriot’s performances reflected in some wonderful results. Very well done to all.
