Strathclyde Police - European Championship 2009

Strathclyde Police Pipe Band playing their medley in the Grade One Competition at the 2009 European Pipe Band Championship held in Battery Park, Greenock on 25 July 2009. This band came fourth in this competition. Sadly, the future of this band is currently in great jeopardy as Strathclyde Police seeks to implement budget cuts. This band is a jewel in the crown of Glasgow and the surrounding area and its contribution (along with the individual contributions of its members) to the community should not be underestimated. Robert Wallace, principal of Glasgow College of Piping and editor of the Piping Times, has said: "It's a scandal of outrageous proportions, false economy from people who clearly know nothing about Scotland and its culture. This is one of the oldest and most successful bands in the world. I guarantee there will be international outrage." [Glasgow Herald, 18 February 2009]. There is an online petition to save the band at: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/st...
