European Pipe Band Championships - Perth

Scotch College were competing in the European Championships and we went to see Hugo compete. We wore new Scotch tartan caps and scarves to help us cheer them on,

The boys were all decked out in new uniforms with the school tartan and looked very smart indeed. The atmosphere all around the arena was fantastic with bands practising and warming up everywhere.

The boys and teachers were all pleased with the B band’s performance and were rewarded with second place out of 21 entrants in their category for the drum’s performance.

The school’s A team came first so the school should be really happy.

Considering many of the boys were still a bit jet lagged they all did really well. It was hot (we went back to the palace for lunch and changed) and there will be a lot of sunburned people around tomorrow. Hugo joined us so he could see the palace and did a quick tour while I put my feet up for an hour.

Home around 7.30 and so glad to have shepherd’s pie and salad in the fridge ready to heat and serve. Love this place!Read more
