The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band from British Columbia, Canada was formed in 1966 during the university's first year. The current band is led by Pipe Major Terry Lee, Under his direction, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band captured the World Pipe Band Championship of 1995, 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2008 and is one of only two bands in history to win both the Medley and March, Strathspey & Reel events at the World Championships more than once. The band is also fortunate to have Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee and Drum Sergeant J Reid Maxwell. Jack Lee is ranked among the world's most accomplished pipers, having won the Gold Medal, Clasp, and Silver Star (twice) at Inverness, and the Gold Medal and Senior Piobaireachd at Oban, as well as the Bratach Gorm in London, and the Piobaireachd event at the Glenfiddich Championship in Scotland. Lead Drummer J. Reid Maxwell is one of today's most decorated drummers. When the SFU Pipe Band captured "the Worlds" in 1995, Reid became the first person in history to lead the drum corps of two different bands to be named World Pipe Band Champions. |
