Vol 1 CD - featuring both March, Strathspey & Reel and Medley performances from the top-placed bands in the final of the Grade 1 event.

Glasgow Green was the venue again in 2009 for the pinnacle in pipe band competition - The World Pipe Band Championships - in front of an audience of more than 40,000 piping fans. Over two hundred bands travelled from far and wide to make The Worlds, the most anticipated and spectacular musical event on their cultural calendar.

The initial downpour certainly didn't dampen the high spirits of the crowd, or the bands, in what turned out to be another fantastic day. Grade 1 winners Simon Fraser University of Vancouver, Canada, put in a stellar performance, sealing their victory and becoming world champions for the second year running.

2009 Grade 1 results:
Winners: Simon Fraser University (Canada)
2nd: Field Marshall Montgomery (Northern Ireland)
3rd: St Laurence O'Toole (Ireland)
4th: Strathclyde Police (Scotland)
5th: The House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead (Scotland)
6th: Boghall & Bathgate Caledonia (Scotland)

The World Pipe Band Championships have been operating regularly since 1930, when the Scottish Pipe Band Association (today known as the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association) was formed. For competitive bands, the title of World Champions is highly coveted, and this event is seen as the culmination of a year's worth of preparation, rehearsal and practice.
