Fabulous band, no one better. Thanks for posting.

[@brentberry1]

Grew up hearing this first tune, and this band always owned it! Thanks

[@petervdveenmuis]

Best Pipe Band from Canada

[@ScottishgirlAnnlorie]

[@leebhoy93]

thanks

'Mrs. Girdle' is such a great transition tune, but quite riveting in its own right.

[@chinngis83]

They're a great band. They really came together towards the middle.

[@isthereadoctorhere]

i luv the harmonies!!!

[@zirkus88]

SFU is just intense, every time, every circle is for the goods, can't get enough

[@yvofra]

perfect playing amazing real champions

[@770thedoctor]

Playing music is not about playing it as fast as you can. I heard the SFU at the worlds in the early 2000's and said that no band would beat them on their drone sound alone, and they won it that year.They are an awesome band. For pure tone and great drone sound, listen to the Field Marshal in the flesh.

The 'attack' as that is called is a military band tradition and is useful in helping a band to play in unison from the start of the set. It also helps everybody's marching to stay in step with each other.

[@TenorDrummer3]

yes they are and they also do that Piping hot summer drummer, I learned tons from their tenor teacher..

[@rumujuin]

pretty good

[@tubelilous]

Maybe it's the recoding but this seems to be much better than the more recent sfu pipes and drums.

[@sm8000]

Vancouver, BC is rained on 330+ days a year ......like Scotland guess thats why us Canadians keep winning year after year.

[@sm8000]

I have to disagree; there are several fundamental mistakes in the cinematography that give the video a rather amateur, albeit voyeuristic feel. It's a good thing I uploaded this clip as soon as I obtained it, so that others may learn from its example.

[@sm8000]

It's called Murdoch MacAllister, and it's in Robert MacNeil's book.

[@nubb1337]

I'm a grade the piper. just a bit longer till I'm at there level ;)

[@jdasilva5]

[@sm8000]

There are two, don't know the first but the second is their waltz arrangement of Mason's Apron.

[@leebhoy93]

[@hgintern]

Great band. But the best in the world? I would opt for WellingtonPB.

[@sm8000]

After Caledonian Society they play Miss Girdle, and then Swallow Tailed Coat.
