The last round of Ottawa Branch Knockout competitions took place Feb. 8, 2014 at HMCS Bytown Officers’ Mess in Ottawa.
It was a busy affair with all categories in action. Adjudicators were Bob Waugh (Drumming) and Bob Worrall (Piping).
Following the competitions, Bob Worrall gave a fantastic recital despite the lateness of the hour to a rousing request for an encore which hi politely obliged. Thank you Bob Worrall!
Group A Piping was competing for the Canadian Content Trophy. Each tune in their medley had to have a Canadian composer.

The raffle basket contents were donated by Bob Worrall, McGillivray Piping, Brown Bagpipe Supply, Ace Percussion, Kingston Scottish Festival, and pipes|drums. Thanks go out to our terrific sponsors!
