Gearing up for the Seaside Games

The last games of the season is upon us...the Seaside Highland Games to be held at the Ventura County Fairgrounds this weekend, October 8 and 9.  This has been a remarkable season for the band, complete with a trip to Scotland.  It has been a tight race between the three top grade 3 bands: Pasadena, Busmill's Irish Pipers of San Francisco, and the Nicholson Pipe Band, but Pasadena tops the list in aggregate points according the the WUSPBA website.  So while it's too early to celebrate, I think it is safe to say that the band will be the WUSPBA Grade 3 Champions for 2011!
