Simon Fraser University Pipe Band - Medley - World Pipe Band Championship 2009

Simon Fraser University Pipe Band wins the World Pipe Band Championship in 2009. This is their medley. Video is a bit out of sync because of upload.

[@bengillin2661]

The best medley I have ever heard. Remember being in the crowd at Worlds 2009 and being absolutely blown away. The reason why I keep practicing in the hope of joining a grade one band one day

[@Martin.Wilson]

Wow...competing with 24 pipers. I can remember when 10-12 pipers was the standard. The level of confidence and balls it takes to compete with two dozen pipers is truly amazing.

[@seamusheaneylut]

11 years later. Still never heard a better, more melodic, musical, flowing, dynamic medley

[@kareemfakh]

Same, this is literal perfection

[@rookie2shoes735]

Apparently you are not familiar with FMM lmao

[@jasonbeard4726]

Same

[@liamchefstone87]

Victoria police masterblasters medley from 1998 absolutely smokes this

[@TheSavageB]

@@liamchefstone87 Vic police is by far my fav old school PB but that medley certainly does not "smoke" this...

[@connalmacbride8754]

This is one of the best medley sets ever. Love the arrangement of the brae's of Locheil and Mrs MacLeod of Raasay.

[@pipermac]

I have no idea how many times I have watched this video. I don't even care that the sound is not in sync...

[@weepiper11]

Who would ever want to change this amazing medley.

[@sylvainlendre324]

Still listenning to this incredible medley 10 years later, and I have to say ... what a talent in the writing, in the performance, in the style. A really coloured medley with one of the best final ever composed !

[@johnrobertson4384]

Excellent thank you from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK 🇬🇧

[@markaldridge3321]

Superb, great choice of tunes. Top class. Best drum corp I have ever heard.

[@nanners829]

The bass player is just keeping things flowing with a great sound!

[@nanners829]

I agree with Bobs observation of Katherine the bass player! She is amazing at what she does! Just fun to watch & she deserves the shout out!

[@3niknicholson]

My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am, can you believe that, 2:30am.
Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.

[@Nucksfan1]

😂😂😂

[@tuggaworsley4281]

That is so good - classic Mitch Hedberg . . .

[@FM-tx5es]

One of the best all time Medley!!!

[@brianjacobi]

This medley, same as last years, is the greatest medley I have ever heard from a pipe band . They are both fully orchestrated with full use of the whole band.I have been playing many years as a drummer, and also for a few years as a piper. This is how a medley should sound. Thank you guys for your performance and thank you so much for posting Best regards Brian Jacobi

[@dnG144]

[@oz_medias]

Living 15 minutes from SFU, it's great to get be able to get out to many of their local shows each year. Sadly, they are relatively unknown outside of their circles here though _(pun unintentional)_ .

[@jamescameron6677]

Just Fantastic - get their CD - SFU Pipe Band - Live at Carnegie Hall - It is great !!!

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

The grass looks nice. It wasn't raining... I can't think of any other comments.

[@michaellaber6574]

[@rogerdubarry8505]

Canada scared the piss out of their citizens about Covid. I hope and pray this mighty band comes back bigger and stronger than ever. I miss this very much. I hope the old guy graduates soon.

[@ThomasMcGiveron1]

Who knows what tunes they're playing?

[@erroux7666]

[@weepiper11]

?????

[@ianorr7623]

What in Hell is the Drum Corps looking at ???????

[@Nucksfan1]

I think they all look at each others snares to stay in time

[@avlewis]

Generally, they watch the lead drummer

[@mrmakkinman1824]

The day. I'm sorry baby shower and I don't know you

[@jeff61177]

it's called "we are better than you, there just no hope, go home" Followed by "too many notes, not enough musicality". I hate pipe band competitions, especially the worlds. Simon Fraser is just plain arrogant, Schotts is way better musically, and they are fun people as well.

[@matthewhunter3370]

then why the are you watching a sfu video go and watch schotts

[@r.crompton2286]

It's now more than 8 years since this was recorded, but on that day, according to the judges, SFU got the better of the other competitors. The personal opinions of the rest of us re: musicality or self-esteem (that you label "arrogance") never affect the rankings.

[@GoPe506]

Haha, this comment wins the pipe band Internet

[@Nucksfan1]

Bro what do you have against SFU, they are obviously one of the best bands ever😂

[@warrenheslip692]

That drone !
