Scotland in Colchester, 12 June 2016
12.6.16- a significant date in the history of CCPB as the band took home it's first ever competition silverware at the Scotland in Colchester event!
​
Bands from across England gathered at the Lower Castle Park for a wet, muggy, and ultimately awesome day of piping, drumming, highland dancing etc etc. Only our second ever contest as a band, and our first since dabbling at Chatsworth a couple of years ago, saw 11 of the bandsfolk play really well taking 4th place out of 10 bands in the Grade 4 March - in the process winning our first ever shield! (actually joint 3rd, but lost out on a pipng preference!)
​
​
​
In addition to this, we fielded two teams in the quartets piping and were deligheted to have our 'A' team finish 2nd overall in a field of 13 bands - this despite torrential rain accompanying their march from the line to the judges tent!
​
Lastly, but by no means least, Abbie had another sucessful day in the solo piping winning herself a shield and handfull of medals too!
​
So all in all, a brilliant day for CCPB and a day that we won't forget in a hurry!
