The Alma Highland Games: May 23, 24, 25 2003
 
The band travel six hours to this competition, the first competition of the season and their first time entering competition as a Grade 3 band.
Their very busy weekend which included Ceidlh performances which were met with thunderous applause, a near sell out of T-shirts, autographs and requests for CD's.
Saturday included two mass bands and competiting in cold rainy weather. Sunday competition and a mass band left the band drained but happy with their perfomances and a new fan base in Michigan!
