Two pieces of exciting news:

The band leadership has submitted a request to EUSPBA for an upgrade from grade 3 to grade 2.  The 2009 success of the band, and the quality and quantity of anticipated new members for 2010 contributed to this decision.   

Pending the upgrade, the band has voted to set a goal of competing in Scotland at the World's in 2011 in Grade 2.  Logistical, musical, and financial  preparations are all underway.
