The Grade 1 band debuted their much-anticipated new medley, “Idiomatica”.  The piping press have described it as “avant garde”.  Although unpopular with traditional enthusiasts, the Georgetown audience responded with loud (and spontaneous) cheers of approval — highly uncommon at Scottish-style pipe band events.  “Idiomatica” delivered a strong second for the band among a field that included the Scottish Lion-78th Fraser Highlanders, The Peel Regional Police Pipe Band, and the Halifax-based 78th Highlanders ( Citadel) band. 

Georgetown Highland Games: Toronto Police Pipe Band

The Grade 3 band put on an excellent show performing their new set in the traditional “march, strathsepy and reel” category.  Their solid efforts saw them awarded the premier prize in a field of six bands. 

Pipe Major Ian K. MacDonald was awarded the Professional Piper of the Day for most consistent overall showing in the solo piping events.
