Although I didn't hear all of their contests, I agree. From what Rick told me after talking with some of their people, the first contest didn't go as well for them due to nerves.

We didn't do as well in the second as we could have because at least one piper was getting worn out - solos in the morning, massed bands, then 2 contests more or less back to back.

But, I'm happy with the results - we beat a grade 4 band, after all!
