Results: 2019 Ottawa Branch Indoor Highland Games

Thank you to all who participated in the 2019 Ottawa Branch Indoor Highland Games in Kemptville. The morning saw nearly 100 solo competitors compete across 32 events, followed by an afternoon with 13 quartet and band performances from 10 bands in the eastern Ontario region.

Charles-David Mitchell won the Piper of the Day combined title for Grade 1 solo events. The Glengarry Pipe Band, Grade 3  won the title for best overall band, while Kingston Police Pipe Band won Grade 5. The inaugural juvenile band contest was won by Ottawa Caledonian.

Earlier this year, our pipe band community lost Judy Booth, who was a well loved member of several bands in the area. Judy was a tenor drummer and to honour her legacy, an award of $250 was presented to a novice tenor winner (Gr. 4) to help further the art. We are grateful to the Sons of Scotland, of whom Judy was a member for several years, for this donation.

This games would not be possible without community support and the help of numerous volunteers. We are grateful to all of you. Thank you!
