Two Grade 1 pipe bands with Tri-City musicians just missed placing in the Top 3 at last weekend’s world championships in Scotland.

The Glasgow Green title was awarded to Inveraray & District — an ensemble that took second spot at last year’s competition — while the defenders Field Marshal Montgomery won silver.

St. Laurence O’Toole clinched third place for the fourth year in a row; it was also named best drum corps.

ScottishPower Pipe Band, which has Port Coquitlam residents David and Shaunna Hilder (formerly with the Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band), reaped fourth and SFU earned fifth.

Managed by Coquitlam’s Robert MacNeil, 44-member SFU group includes Tri-City residents Mackenzie Webster, Richard Gillies, Danielle Millar, Lauren Tietze, Alistair Lee, Allison Anderson, Andrew Lee, Reid Maxwell and Stephen Paynter.
