Glendora students in Pipe Band entertain people here in Southern California, but now they have the chance to show off their skills internationally to compete in the World Championships.A local high school band is marching to the beat of their own drum, or should we say... bagpipes! Glendora students are headed to Scotland to compete in the World Pipe Band Championships.
The band entertains people here in Southern California, but now they have the chance to show off their skills internationally. "Oh I have so much fun. I love hanging out with all my friends. All my best friends are in this band," said bass drummer Jonah Shahbaz The ensemble is preparing to pack up this summer for a major competition... the 2023 World Pipe Band championships in Glasgow, Scotland. And it's a big deal."The last time the entire marching band here went to Scotland was 1986, and I was in high school at the time, so it's really exciting being able to take the band back to Scotland," DeBarr said.
The 12 day trip in August will allow the students to immerse themselves in the music and culture. But they need a little help, and they're looking for sponsors to help them get there."I'm convinced we're gonna make it there and it's gonna be an insane trip," said Shahbaz."We're just so lucky to have a community that supports us especially from our school. We get a lot of support from our faculty we have great instructors that support us," said Bradvica.
