Pipe Major Richard Parkes and the Field Marshal Montgomery Band lift the Greatest Pipe Band award for an "8th" time..One young piper at the end sums up what it means to him!
Being an ex-drum major myself, I've got to say that this young lady showed a great deal of patience and bearing through the whole thing. :) I was watching people just step in front of her when she was attempting to flourish and I never saw her expression change a bit...! And the lady could definitely get the job done! Bravo!
I thought the same thing myself. Daft lot jumping in front spoiled it somewhat. I'm watching from Australia and this was a rare chance to see someone flourish like that.
When I was 4, watching the pipe band at the Santa parade, I asked Mum if the man with the sword would kill me if I ran out in front of him, and she said yes.
I come back to this video from time to time. I was born and raised in America Kentucky specifically but I can hear music like this wavering throughout the hills when I close my eyes. Beautiful.
There's not been another pipe band with such great results at the World's over the past fifteen or so years. Several firsts and a good share of 2nd place finishes.
What a great video. Thanks so much for posting. The female Drum major was great , with tight flourishing, and sympathetic control of the band in this happy occasion. Wonderful.
What a march back to camp. What an outstanding Drum Major !! Perfection, never distracted, really in command, not flustered in the least marching through quite a mob but putting on a real show when she had the space instead. That band is the best of the best in the world. They make it look easy.
Some strange comments here. In this video FMM have just won First at the Worlds, the top competition in the piping world, This looks to be to be a victory parade which is why someone is holding up the Trophy and there is a lot of hand shaking and back slapping going on.
I've watched this many times. This is just the victory lap to the bus! Would love to have seen the competition. Makes want to rush into battle with a war cry of "JESUS"!
ive come back to this time and time again. Not a scottish piping band but fuck this makes me proud to be scottish. We've lost our glory but this brings a little bit of it back
It would have been nice to see her use the baton on some of the oafs that walked in front of the band or at least have some ushers to keep people from ruining our viewing experience. The band did an excellent job keeping pace with all of the interruptions. Now for the haters.
Just happy friends and family!!! After all they are the best in the world. Many of these folks are from county down home to my ancestors.bless you one and all. And Samantha, great poise. Very proud of you.
What a great happy video, such wonderful playing. The Drum major sure is good looking, but also very good in deportment etc, but also her flourishing, I suspect that Brian Wilson has given some tuition here, as she has the same movements and polish.AS for the rest of the band, what discipline, I would want to celebrate a little, but they carry on playing lovely stuff, perhaps that is the best way, certainly shows what a class band they are. Thanks so much for posting Brian NZ.
A look at Worlds 2013 - Field Marshal Montgomery shows a lot more of the same celebration when they won it again and will answer a lot of the questions asked here.
Escorts would be good for this band but the drum major seemed fine with all the cameras in her face. I did notice though that the pipe major however, kept stopping to get some sort of object??? The spectators at this event should have stayed to the side and watched so the band can get through with ease and focus. I do not agree with Kilbraur though. Both genders of people can be drum major. This drum major is amazing and is better than other MALE drum majors I have seen.
Its important to realize that a lot of the so-called idiots are friends and family of the band! The band doesn't mind...too much (really? Mom - you had to jump right in front there?)
@@johnjohnston5879 I was commenting solely on the standard of musicianship. My comment would apply equally were this a St Laurence O'Toole PB video instead of FMM.
Funny scene at 5:20 where the Pipe Major turns around, a signal to stop playing at the end of the part. However at 5:30 only the front few rows and the Drum Major stop, so they reluctantly start playing again at 5:40 !
I may have missed something but it seems the Drum Major planted her mace and with one movement they were off. I didn't hear anyone call the pipe band to attention.

You have a heart of a Saint sir,

That Drum Major....she is some AWESOME! She's the SHOW!!!!!!!!!
She is no more DM of FMMPB.
Too bad!
She's now a tenor drummer for PSNI
I come back to this video from time to time. I was born and raised in America Kentucky specifically but I can hear music like this wavering throughout the hills when I close my eyes. Beautiful.
I'd love to chill with you listening to this brother, 😊😊👂👂
I'm a wee drummer, east Belfast 🥁😂
Best pipe band I've ever heard. Ordered two of their CDs yesterday.
where can I order from?
And this was just headin to the bus! Amazing and it sent goose bumps through me.
I shoulda been a Scotsman.
when class, style and talent come together
"Field Marshal Montgomery" A very very respected and known big name in the entire world.
Thank you so very much.
AND they come from that little place called NORTHERN IRELAND.
There's not been another pipe band with such great results at the World's over the past fifteen or so years. Several firsts and a good share of 2nd place finishes.
Never been so annoyed by those photographers! That woman must have nerves of steel.
She is the best there is, great how she stays calm with that idiot's around her.
Family members 🤔🤔🤔
I'm proud to play in a pipeband and see the champions perform!!!
What a great video. Thanks so much for posting. The female Drum major was great , with tight flourishing, and sympathetic control of the band in this happy occasion. Wonderful.
+Brian Jacobi Love the drum major's work-the baton is almost as tall as she is.
What a march back to camp. What an outstanding Drum Major !! Perfection, never distracted, really in command, not flustered in the least marching through quite a mob but putting on a real show when she had the space instead. That band is the best of the best in the world. They make it look easy.
The Drum Major should carry a great battle-ax and use it to carve a path through the idiots.
seriously
Lol.....I like that
Terry - She's an amazing drum major. Kudos to her!
The whole time I was watching this I was thinking , get these idiots out of the way. I guess this was after the competition?
Especially the orange Tee shirt and kilt what a look!
Montgomery , Pollock clan from Salt Lake City, Utah USA checking in
For what its worth to the Drum Major, I'm more amazed by her skill and how she handled herself when she was crowded, Excellent Form.

Best Drum Major seen on ANY Pipe Band video so far!
That gal never looses temper - cute.
Awesome band and cool Drum Major..

Too right matey...hearing GREAT pipes heals the sickly soul and lifts the SPIRIT. Sorta like an antibiotic.
I have to give credit where credit is do, best looking drum major I have ever seen, great band too, job well done. Congrats. on winning the worlds.
Samantha is an Amazing Drum Major, The Best!
yes samantha is an awesome drum major i would marry her
is she scotish or irish
My favorite Highland bagpipe band, but I love them all.
That's what a grade 1 band sounds like.
The world must be proud of you because you are making the world better place for man kind , to live, proudly.
It would have been nice to see her use the baton on some of the oafs that walked in front of the band or at least have some ushers to keep people from ruining our viewing experience.

Bloody brilliant. Well played, well disciplined, well smart, etc, etc.
The band is great and the girl is class all the way.
East Belfast drummer here, blood and thunder, nothing compares to da Montgomery 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The Drum Major from this Band was my Teatcher in the Year 2000.
The drum major was awesome - such composure under pressure'
Just happy friends and family!!! After all they are the best in the world.
Many of these folks are from county down home to my ancestors.bless you one and all.
And Samantha, great poise. Very proud of you.
Top pipe band ...and so they should be...have some very talented pipers in their line up ...well done lads?
Class band. Class Drum Major.

What a disrespectful thing to do by walking in front of the band. Know what I would have done with the Mace!
I remember playing at the Durham miner gala and my drum major using the mace like a club to stop drinks from passing
phenomenal!
That girl kept up her momentum!! Well done!!
Great band and good looking drum major!
ho it's fantastic job I like the garil leading the troop I love you all

Really good at spinning the stick too
i like pipe sound
No,I think they were mad keen to get back to the hotel bar...lol :)
IMPERTURBABLE ET DIGNITE SUPER MERCI
It's something of a testament to her cool that she didn't whack someone with that mace : )
Out of curiosity - does a female Kilt wrap t'other way like Britchies & jackets?
I may have missed something but it seems the Drum Major planted her mace and with one movement they were off. I didn't hear anyone call the pipe band to attention.
I like this band and the women like very proud slow march hi
Brawo Girl
WHO'S THAT GIRL ? GREAT P. MAJOR...
Fine looking bunch!
Duck it be funny if someone opened the shitter door and hit a piper
