The band is the first youth band from Washington State to ever compete in the World Pipe Band Championships, and only the 2nd youth band from the state to travel to Scotland. The last band was the Seattle Scottish Boys Pipe Band in 1969. They went to the Scottish Championships and won, beating the Juvenile World Champions.
