SFU Pipe Band wins the World Pipe Band Championship in 2008. Medley.

[@LawsonMcLaren]

This band is scary good. Ever little piece from the uniforms to the medley, drums and so on is absolutely perfect.

[@gords6823]

The greatest pie band medley ever played at the worlds..................

[@CapoeiraPiper]

Still think this beats FMM this year... simply put, its the best medley ever. (in my opinion)

[@cheydino]

This medley is still as beautiful as I remember it being that day.

[@DeniseOyston]

I am off here again next week !! I went last year and was blown away so much so I have this video on my favourites and have watched it at least 100 times in the last 12 months !! stunning ! and I am English !!

[@kjmillig1]

Ya' love pipes or you loath them. How can anyone not love this! Awesome!

[@toycharger]

Just found this today. AWESOME SIMPLY AWESOME!!!

[@p3rdyp1nkr0ses]

The little boxes on the video didn't tell the whole list of the songs played here. They are as follows: Cosmos Cascade/The Snuff Wife /The Atholl Highlanders /The Braes of Locheil /Munlochy Bridge/The Top of Craigvenow/Mrs MacLeod of Raasay /The Braes of Locheil (reprise)/Mrs MacLeod of Raasay (reprise)

[@dvb5150]

So much pure talent... I've probably watched this video 50 times and I never get sick of it. Such a wonderful medley. Perfection at it's best.

[@dvb5150]

Absolutely the best pipe band I've ever heard...

[@djrepasky]

Look forward every year to seeing and hearing this band at the Portland (OR) Highland Games at Mt. Hood Community College!!

[@sallyp]

Just saw them live at the Las Vegas highland games and they were simply amazing!

[@CapoeiraPiper]

what a phenomenal medley! and every single piper sounded as if they were one the whole time, not to mention, the tunning was almost 100% immaculate. great job Simon Fraser University!

[@charlie1pipes]

Simply the Best of the Best!

[@NickSlaughter669]

Thumbs up for the guy from Sparta yelling right after they finish! YEAWHHHHHHH

[@DeniseOyston]

outstanding!! we got to this years championships for the first time and I was blown away!

[@piperdude]

That's Terry Lee playing the old-school high A with the middle finger down.

[@MrTanbark]

Man, they're just tearin' it up. :o) Hope they come to South Carolina sometime. I'd love to see and hear them. :o)

[@StrathendrickPiper]

Traditional pipes and drums at the highest level

[@darkfey1963]

@djrepasky I GO,TOO,AND IT'S F*****G FABULOUS!!! This just blows me away.My god,what a performance! Piperdude,THIS goes on heavy rotation!

[@MrTanbark]

They're just tearin' it up. :o) Hope they come to South Carolina sometime. I'd love to see and hear them.

[@Dthepiperavid]

best medley ever is the 2005 one. the last two tunes are awesome. Dr macphaills reel is simply the best, and only they play it just right.

[@devavrataroy1024]

I'm kinda glad to be part of this band (not this level) its great to live 20 minutes away from SFU.

[@GarTheRussianCat]

Devavrata Roy Wow! Living the fucking dream mate!!! :O

[@keydetpiper]

Once again, excellent playing. Great medley.

[@bernardpiper]

Amazing....

[@LeoChick93]

I was there and SFU were the best, no doubt! :D They also won the -09 edition two days ago :)

[@erixal]

the seconds on atholl highlanders are amazing :|

[@briandphilippe]

You guys are swinging for all it's worth !

[@MichaelSupples]

There is only one way to describe this...amazing!

[@plasteckfly]

Great video. Great band. In fact, I was thinking "they're really, really good!"... that's when I noticed the title "winners of the 2008 World Championships". Amazing! Tanks for posting.

[@jonjeny]

Superb performance as usual SFU #FTW

[@Roddo08]

So glad to see that SFU are back to their winning ways at the worlds...not to take anything away from FMM and Schotts...but I think that SFU has been ripped off a couple of times with the juding over the years...I think that they have always been a heavenly pipe corps to listen to...but the drum corps the past couple of years has really been top notch too...giving them that edge over FMM...congratulations to a great band!!!

[@darkfey1963]

@dvb5150 Me neither! They come to my home town every year for our Highland Games and it's the high point of my day!

[@529corey]

atholl highlanders sounds so good in this medly

[@Stanman94]

i love this medley set!! they play it so well!! but i wished they changed the medley for 2009....

[@piperdmac]

The tune starting at 4:55 is a reel called Mrs. MacLeod of Raasay.

[@jcoles1226]

id love to see this live , can any one get me tickets for next year? possibly a place to stay ?? !!!!!

[@MrTanbark]

Pure magic!

[@geezkeys]

Awesome playing

[@eksteelman]

superb !

[@darkfey1963]

@djrepasky I was at PHG this year as well(any time I miss is not MY idea!) and knowing I've got SFU to look forward to makes the anicipation all the greater.Love this band!

[@Punkbfl]

Astonishing

[@ChuckMAST3R]

Bad ass music.

[@dodsy96]

amazing

[@smithnip]

Awesome.

[@Quaysidepiper]

Just beautiful! Apart from the daft black socks and blue shirts.

[@piperken4]

@bagpiperofmuffins it is what is a called a pibroch High A, those of us of a certain age were taught both !! If you watch him he changes between both High A's depending on which is the easiest !

[@lumberjackyoho]

Awesome!

[@nicholasnoble]

They are even better in real life!

[@hoof2001]

Best pipe band in the world by miles

[@junopiper]

@bagpiperofmuffins That is certainly the old-school (and very traditional) method of playing the high A. I wish I could do it!

[@WentworthLovex]

Weldone!!

[@ewansmyth1681]

Can someone tell me all the names of the tunes cause I want to know them and listen to them cause he didn't put all the tunes names up Thanks

[@Wafaloo]

lol - is the guy at 6:31 asleep?

[@MidnightPolak]

That's my school!!

[@thedukesrule]

@hoof2001 wut about the Victorian Police Pipe Band they are very very good pippers aswell

[@529corey]

why the pibroach high a

[@donotneedonethnx]

Some people have Pearly Gates. This is mine. Wow. Just wow!

[@ScottishShorts]

7 generatons and 7 years is what it is said to make a piper to the point where he understands the secrets of the world. (Kan-eeda) Canada is that not the Gaelic for Scotland West.

[@TenorDrummer3]

At 1:58, the second from the left, Simone, taught me

[@CapoeiraPiper]

lol. youre the second person in this strand of comments to question that. read down to get it answered.

[@jackhawkpiper97]

Bad ass as in cool

[@jugmeetsingh]

hey im also a piper im juz wonderin after braes of lochiel wht was d nxt song....pls tell me im interested in takin it out...n if u can also tell me which site 2 dl d song would b helpful...Thx.

[@sm8000]

I just noticed (in the slow air) that Terry is playing a pibroch High A. Does he always do that?

[@cornemusa]

Las mujeras canadensas son muy caliente.

[@SPRBagpiper]

Apparently it didn't that year.

[@jackhawkpiper97]

Braes of Loch Eil or The Banks of Loch Eil they play it one note higher than the traditional music

[@djclimber]

How much money does the first place grade I band win at the Worlds?

[@CapoeiraPiper]

I know this is an old comment, but some more old school players keep that middle finger down because of piobreachd embellishments, its easy to transition through them, also, some people do it to sharpen the high a I think. idk, my PM plays that way too and those are the reasons he gave me.

[@Marine1Bulldog]

At 4:54, is that tune "Mrs. MacLeod of Raasay"?

[@LOLzum101]

What's the tune at 4:50!?

[@brassexpert]

i think he meant bad ass as in awesome

[@crazybagoham]

why does terry lee do his high As with a different finger?

[@kshack9562]

actually bad ass is good. not bad, as the actual term may suggest. he is saying that the music is awesome.

[@tunnagan]

Does anyone know the name of the Slow Air?

[@jackhawkpiper97]

still got that?

[@jonjeny]

@bagpiperofmuffins i play the high A the very same way

[@MaximinoGillespie10]

lol. freddylein, in modern vernacular "bad ass" is a very positive statement. it's as if chuckmaster said "wow, that was an amazing presentation of the highest quality of contemporary bagpipe music composition and performance". "bad ass" just has a bit more of a punch to it. honest mistake though

[@crazybagoham]

why does terry lee do his high As differently?

[@moneill75]

Really awesome camera shots and sounds. You didn't record this with your iPhone did you?

[@BKPLDD1]

whats the last tune that SFUPB plays?

[@jdasilva5]

so did you like the tunes i sent you?

[@zirkus88]

@bagpiperofmuffins thats the F finger mate, Burnaby what ?!

[@yotube123454321]

haha, you thought he was saying it was bad? are you older than 50?

[@IwishIcouldFC]

lol everybody took your comment the wrong way :P

[@millball]

i woudnt mind entering my text at 3:58 ;)

[@Marine1Bulldog]

"Braes of Loch Eil"

[@ajjaxx]

he called it "bad ASS"...wich is a complament. similler to "the shit" wich is also a complament

[@jonjeny]

@blackendfaith Braes of Loch Eil

[@wilstri]

hilarious

[@kurt1698]

I think that SFU play sheep skin pipebags and kinnaird drone reeds??

[@ZJH89]

I take it you're not familiar with slang.

[@EviLBoCkEr2k6]

Do you mean crap... or bad as as in good? :P

[@EviLBoCkEr2k6]

You play pipes.... but your not good :P ( yet ) keep practicing

[@crazybagoham]

why does terry lee do his high As with a different finger?
