Videos: Strong attendance at Toronto indoor

Toronto – March 26, 2016 – A strong entry across most grades of band, quartet and solo events made the 2016 Toronto Indoor Games at Mosspark Armoury in the city’s downtown a hive of activity, as the Peel Regional Police best the Toronto Police in the only contested Grade 1 band event. The Pipes & Drums of the 400 Squadron returned to competition after more than a year’s hiatus, winning the two-band Grade 2 event. Ian K. MacDonald won the overall prize in the Professional Solo Piping, and Iain Bell did the same in the Professional Solo Snare Drumming.
