First place in the Grade 5 North American Championships
After a successful 2010 campaign under the direction of Pipe Major Andrew Shepherd and Drum Sergeant Tom MacKenzie, winning Maxville, Almonte and the title of Grade 5 Eastern Ontario Champions Supreme, the Highland Mist Pipe Band from Kanata has embarked on a new journey beginning in 2011. Highland Mist has appointed Mark and Emily Porter, formerly of the Grade 1 Toronto Police Pipe Band, to take the band to successful new heights in competition.
Debuting New Look and New Sound for 2011
The band will be fielding both a Grade 4 and a Grade 5 competition band, which has attracted several talented members to both the pipe section and drum corps in both grades. The Mist has also made changes to it’s uniform which will be debuted in April. Both bands will compete in several PPBSO games over the coming 2011 season and there are plans to compete in Scotland at the World Pipe Band Championships in 2012. The band has transformed its musical repertoire and is excited to debut a new medley this summer.
With strong ties to Branch #638 Royal Canadian Legion Kanata, Highland Mist has made a strong mark on local
parades and will continue to do so through 2011-2012
