NWJPB Grade 4 - 1st Place at BC
Wow, what a day. Despite a very early morning, long drive, scorching heat and intense competition, our grade 4 band took home the 1st place trophy, including Best Drum Corps! Only our third year in this grade and our highest placing as a band to date. What a great feeling.

We would like to thank the White Spot Pipe Band for providing lunch, as well as friendship, on our visit to the BC Games. Also, congratulations to White Spot and Fraser Valley Youth Pipe Bands for playing sooo well in Grade 5. What an inspiration.

Next up is the Skagit Valley Highland Games the 2nd weekend in July. You can bet we'll be working hard to maintain our momentum. All the way to Scotland!

Ceilidh Nite a Big Success!
Wow, what an event... The reaction to our first ever Ceilidh/Dinner/Fundraiser has been overwhelmingly positive. Thanks to everyone who attended and helped support our last Scotland fundraiser. This night helped push us over the top of our fundraising goal of $32,000.

And a big thank you to all of our guest performers, including some NWJPB alumni, Piper's Creek and Patrick Downing. The Karen Shelton Highland Dancers wowed the crowd of 280 supporters and the Bucketmen capped off the night with their big, energetic sound.

We are definitely planning another ceilidh night for next year, so stay tuned and get your tickets early!
