The band also competes each year in Highland competitions in Regina and Winnipeg. Highlights of past performances include a trip to Scotland where the band competed in games at Perth, North Berwick, and the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow and a trip to Victoria, BC to compete in the Victoria Highland Games.
