We competed in all major pipe band championships and travelled to many country's including France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, and three times to Colorado u.s.a. to play at the military tattoo 's and festivals. I played a solo lament at the tattoos. Throughout playing with the band I competed in many juvenile and open solo contests around the competing circuit.
