SK Day 2 also goes to North Stratton

Regina, Saskatchewan – May 20, 2018 – Day 2 of the Saskatchewan Highland Gathering & Celtic Festival was another brilliant day of sunshine and moderately warm temperatures, making excellent conditions for bands and spectators. The morning solo events featured special “challenge” events for competitors, and the afternoon started with a short marching demonstration event on the pedestrian mall in downtown Regina. North Stratton of Edmonton carried the day in Grade 2, although it was originally announced incorrectly due to an error in tabulation. The band won on ensemble preference over the Winnipeg Police.
