A new Pipe Major!
The band is pleased to announce the appointment of our new Pipe Major, Neil-John Robertson. Neil-John returns to his home band, Culter & District, following a work assignment in the USA.
Neil-John said, “I’m delighted to be returning to Culter – this organization means a great deal and I look forward to working with such an enthusiastic team. As PM, it will be a privilege to lead the band that has gone from strength to strength over the last few years. There is already a lot of excitement and I look forward to progressing the winter schedule. I’m thrilled to be working alongside such incredible talent like Lachlan, who leads our drum corps, and am committed to work hard to deliver a winning pipe band in the North East.”
The band would like to thank Andy Patterson who stepped down from the Pipe Major role at the end of this season. Andy is a great leader who has driven the band up the 4A grade and achieved significant success, notably the 3rd prize at this year’s Scottish Championships. Andy will continue to play a pivotal role in the band’s leadership team and help advance the band’s aspirations.
The sun was shining at the weekend as the band competed at the Scottish Pipe Band Championships in Levengrove Park, Dumbarton.
The band were elated to win 3rd place at the competition, as well as to achieve a 1st in ensemble and a 3rd in drumming!
