Members of Lomond and Clyde Pipe Band at the European Pipe Band Championships, Greenock on July 25, 2009. The band members are John Smith, Scott Smart, Kyle Kennedy and Robert Sharp. There are more photos from the Europeans 09 in the link at the bottom of the page.

Lomond and Clyde had a successful 2009 season in Grade 2, placing at every major apart from the Worlds. This moved the band from being considered as having an outside chance of a prize, to one of the top bands in the Grade.

This year was also Inveraray & District Pipe Band’s only season in Grade 2 where they won every major and were promoted to Grade 1 for 2010.
