Yesterday saw some of band members volunteer to take part in the Elphinstone Summer Fair and Children’s Gala. We had band members from all three of our bands take part in a parade through the village to a very appreciative audience.

The Elphinstone Summer Fair and Children's Gala for was organised by the Elphinstone Community Association (ECA) in East Lothian, the event featured local family entertainment, inclusive play activities, and a dedicated evening party.

The morning after the nights before. This morning we had some AMAZING band members and family/friends help steward the Scottish Half Marathon a Meadowmill Sports Centre. As always, the banter was flowing and the craic was great between us and the runners.

Best of luck to the runners and thank you again to everyone who came along and helped out.

World Pipe Band Championships 2026.

It was a long day in Glasgow and it was the first time we have taken three bands to take part. It was the first time our new novice B band played at the worlds and they managed to qualify for the final. That’s an amazing achievement, especially considering it was the first time the band has played at the world championships.

All 3 bands played well and did themselves, the school and their families proud.

Our juvenile band managed to place 5th overall and retain our position as the best state school pipe band in the world.

Our novice A band didn’t place, but they gave their all and played well in a strong grade.

We also had some time for cake as we sung happy birthday to Cruz and Lynn. Happy birthday guys, I hope you had a great day. 🎂

As a teaching team we couldn’t be prouder of all three bands. They have grown into a strong unit who all keep an eye on each other and want nothing but the best for each other. ❤️

Hats off to the winners, George Watsons College in juvenile, North Lanarkshire Schools in Novice A and St Thomas Episcopal School in Novice B.

The band will take the week off from band practices and get back to it as we finish off our season on the 5th of September at Peebles. We will be taking all 3 of our bands there and we’ll hopefully see you there too.

No PL No Party.

Here are some photos from today’s performance on the centre stage at the piping live festival. It was ROASTING, but still enjoyable performing to a very knowledgable audience.

Were you there??? We hope you enjoyed it.

We’ll post some videos over the next few days in the build up to the world championships.
