The University of Queensland (UQ) Pipe Band at Emmanuel College has hit new highs at the 2014 Queensland Pipe Band Championships following its promotion to Grade 3 earlier in the year.
The upgrade follows national and international achievements including four competition trophies from Scotland as well as winning the Grade 4 Queensland Championships two years in a row.
In addition to the win, the band won the President's Trophy, the Harry Treeby Memorial Trophy for best Pipe Corps and the Quentin Baille Memorial Trophy for best Drum Corps.
Four UQ pipers were awarded Australian Pipe Band College certificates in a presentation at the Championships.
The Queensland Pipe Band Championships were hosted at Yandina by the Sunshine Coast Caledonian Pipes and Drums this month.
