“It really is the icing on the cake for our young people this year.
“We’ve already marched down Sixth Avenue in New York and to now march away with a world championship really is the stuff dreams are made of.”
Fifty-two pipers and drummers from secondary schools across North Lanarkshire took part in the New York parade along the city’s Sixth Avenue earlier this year in front of a 30,000-strong crowd.
