Yes, the vale were DQ’d. When they got to the line, halted, pipes down, stand at ease, then stood to attention, pipes up etc… a drum burst. After the stand at ease” command
Way to go SLOT!
Is that a Freudian slip- Lomond and Clyde do seem to be doing well and holding their own! It’s a good name- perhaps they should change to it.
I’m hearing reports that Vale got disqualified in G1. Can anyone confirm this, and if so, what for?
I didn’t see it, but apparently a drummer dropped out on the line.
Congratulations to Terry, Stephen and all the Band Members on their well earned success at Stormont. Looking forward to SLOT Evolution” Concert. “
I wonder who stood the drummer down? did they just fall out? or who told them to step aside…big mistake as it meant they didnt get any championship points and handed inveraray a pre-qualifier place for the worlds……bad mistake.
