West Australians were very well represented at the World Championships this year. The City of Cockburn made the epic journey to compete on Glasgow Green in Grade 4, and eyewitnesses in the stands reported that they put in a very fine performance. Cockburn made the local papers, too. CLICK HERE to read the story.

Playing as guest members of Canada’s Peel Regional Police competing in Grade 1 were Perth Metro pipers Lachlan Boath and Matt Walker.

Joing the drum corps of Northern Ireland’s St Laurence O’Toole band was WA Police snare, Chris Johnston.

WA Police piper Laura McMillan performed with Inveraray and District in Grade 1 and Laura also learnt Inveraray’s concert repertoire too, to perform in their sell-out live show, Ascension.

And, playing in the Grade 1 World Champion band Field Marshall Montgomery were ex-WAPOL Pipe Major Alisdair McLaren, and current WAPOL piper, Scott Wallace.

Alisdair and Scott also made guest appearances in the internet meme on the World Championships. See the page here: BUZZFEED
