Champion Of Champions Solo Series Perth, Australia
Learner Piping Grade Winner - Ashleigh Civellio
With a large entry for Western Australia of over 35 competitors for each of the three rounds, and the largest ever entry for the Learner Piping Grade, it made for a very interesting aggregate final on the 2nd May with the top competitor winning a new set of Classic 2 Wallace Bagpipes.
The set of Bagpipes donated by Mr Craig Munro of Wallace Bagpipes was presented to Ms Ashleigh Civiello (pictured) as the Aggregate winner for Learner Piping after all three rounds. It was also great to have Craig Munro out from Scotland to present the pipes in person. Craig Judged the final round in learner and was very impressed by the standard of players in that grade.
Ashleigh is a student at the Presbyterian Ladies College Perth. Her piping instructor and family were there to witness the presentation on the night and also her fellow band members from the PLC Pipe Band that also competed in the same event. None of the competitors or supporters knew what grade the pipes were to be presented to, so it was a very nice surprise.
The full results of the 2009 Champion of Champions Solo Series will be available online at www.ozscot.com.au
Stay tuned for next years dates.
A very big thank you to WALLACE BAGPIPES for supporting this event. We look forward to next years final and seeing Craig out once again.
