You'll forgive me for skipping the Drum Majors, save to say that Northern Ireland was again fairly dominant. One has to wonder if the rest of the world is really trying....
Adult Drum Major bucked the trend and went to the SFU Drum Major (J Paquio). Was that an omen? I'm typing this as we go, so who knows? Paula Braiden came a creditable second, keeping the Ulster end up. And now, as they say, the Bands... Novice Juvenile Drums - George WatsonOverall - Oban High School Grade 4B Drums - Upper Crossgare
