The first win for a Scottish band since Shotts last won the title in 2005. The three year timeframe between Ryan’s appointment as Pipe Major and leading the band to win the Grade 1 World Championship is the fastest ascent to the World title by any Pipe Major in 45 years. Indeed, since the World Pipe Band Championship first became a separate event in 1947, only five Pipe Majors have won the World’s in three seasons or less.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-kupsdnib\" class=\"MazNVa comp-kupsdnib wixui-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"linkElement\" class=\"j7pOnl\"\u003e\u003cimg sizes=\"267px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/622969_ae0e48bd12674419be43765c074e3c9b~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_267,h_309,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto\/trophy%20original_JPG.jpg 1x, https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/622969_ae0e48bd12674419be43765c074e3c9b~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_534,h_618,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto\/trophy%20original_JPG.jpg 2x\" id=\"img_comp-kupsdnib\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/622969_ae0e48bd12674419be43765c074e3c9b~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_267,h_309,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto\/trophy%20original_JPG.jpg\" alt=\"trophy original.JPG.jpg\" class=\"BI8PVQ Tj01hh\" width=\"267\" height=\"309\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-kupseoo5\" class=\"Z_l5lU MMl86N zQ9jDz qvSjx3 Vq6kJx comp-kupseoo5 wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eRyan Canning with the RSPBA Jubilee Banner \u0026amp; Trophy, plus the trophies for best MSR and best Medley at the 2015 World Pipe Band Championships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAs a small business supporting a closely knit piping community, Canning Reedmakers has a philosophy of openness when it comes to customer service.  Ryan says of his business, “I consider it a privilege to be able to turn my hobby into a profession.
