Saturday
17th July. Balloch Highland Games.
Williamwood continued their winning streak
at Balloch on Saturday once again gaining first place in Grade
3 as well as best core of drums. After a heavy downpour we
began our setup for the competition and things were going
well on what was had now turned into a glorious day! The grade
three medley was thought to be the strongest we have performed
this season and most were very pleased! After a short break,
we began our preparations for the grade two event! A big thank
you to the grade four bands of Milngavie and Clydebank for
agreeing to play for the drum majors. This allowed us a bit
more time to prepare for grade two! Our performance in two
was also quite encouraging. We were however the only grade
three band to play up and did not expect to trouble the three
well established grade two bands! As expected we were placed
fourth in the grade two contest which was won by the Royal
Scots Dragoon Guards. The day was very enjoyable for the band
as we prepare for the March, Strathspey and Reel contest in
Lisburn at the European Championships!
