Day 2 of the Pleasanton Games brought another 2nd place finish to the Pasadena Scots, who were once again bested by the Bushmill's Irish Pipers of San Francisco. However, this finish all but clinches the overall Grade 3 aggregate title for the band for 2011, within WUSPBA (the Western United States Pipe Band Association). This will be the 2nd year in a row the band has won the title.
The drum corps won 1st place both days, and won a trophy for Best Drum Corps. The next and last competition for the band will take place in October in Ventura, CA.

Pasadena Places 2nd at Pleasanton Day One
The Pasadena Scots earned a 2nd place finish at the Caledonian Club of San Francisco Highland Games (commonly referred to as the Pleasanton Games), in the Grade 3 MSR event today. Topped only by the Bushmill's Irish Pipers of San Francisco (a mighty fine band!), the field of 6 bands included 2 bands from Los Angeles (Pasadena and Nicholson), 2 bands from San Francisco (Prince Charles and Irish Pipers), a band from Utah (Wasatch & District) and a band from Canada (Edmonton & District). Stay tuned for tomorrow's results in the Medley contest.
