| 00:00 - 00:03 | The results of the Worlds are finally confirmed |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | The RSPBA has issued its regradings for 2025 |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Ravara's been promoted to Grade 1, Denny & Dunipace up to Grade 2 |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | City of Dunedin has been downgraded to Grade 2 by the RSPBA |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Then there's us... we, the Greater Midwest, have been downgraded to Grade 3A |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | We can go back next year and prove them wrong |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | We just have to win everything here. Maybe Maxville too. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Pipey... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The RSPBA... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The RSPBA's regradings are final every season |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | It's very rare that appeals are successful |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | If you ever paid Adrian Melvin for a lesson, or bought his reeds, leave the room now |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING FUCK |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | WHO THE FUCK DOES THE RSPBA THINK THEY ARE? |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | REGRADING BANDS WHO SHOW UP ONCE A YEAR FROM OVERSEAS |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | MAYBE TWICE IF THEY'RE LUCKY |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | AND THEY LUMP US IN WITH WHO - CULLYBACKEY? |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | CITY OF LONDON? MACKENZIE CALEDONIAN? |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | SO NOW WE'RE ANOTHER BAND THAT USED TO BE IN GRADE 2? |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | PIPEY THIS HAPPENS TO PLENTY OF BANDS |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | YES AND THEY ALWAYS SWITCH GRADES EVERY FEW YEARS |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | PIPEY, AT LEAST WE'RE NOT PART OF THE NOVICE B FIASCO |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD PIPE BAND MEDIOCRITY |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | LOOK AT THE NAMES I MENTIONED |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | CITY OF LONDON, MACKENZIE CALEDONIAN |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | CULLYBACKEY, DENNY & DUNIPACE |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | ALL BANDS THAT WERE ONCE GRADE 2, AND GOOD! |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | I WONDER IF CITY OF DUNEDIN IS HAVING THIS MEETING TOO |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | RAVARA, GOOD FOR THEM BUT HOW LONG UNTIL THEY'RE DOWNGRADED AGAIN? |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | THERE'S A REASON I ASKED THAT QUESTION. ONCE YOU'RE DOWNGRADED, |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | YOU'RE DONE. EVEN IF YOU GET PROMOTED BACK UP, NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | And how did we let this happen? |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | In our home association, we only played two contests |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Won against two rivals at Alma, and then... |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | ...middle of the pack at Chicago |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Once the bands from outside the Midwest are in the mix, we're all fucked. Every time |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | Are we really so complacent? Thinking we know how to win, and just fucking ourselves? |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | Maybe Simmie was right, goddammit |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Maybe Midwest Grade 2 bands aren't at a Worlds standard yet! |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Who's going to get their band up to the standard? |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, this won't be on the Big Rab Show |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Meanwhile, Midlothian's doing just fine |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | They fucking beat us by 15 points in Chicago. 15 points... |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | After we beat them at Alma |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | And City of Chicago just keeps on chugging along... |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | They got a new pipey and lead tip, and have expanded their roster, and AR2 fucked off. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | And they willingly regraded. What do we do? |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Fuck it. Let's go play with the Frasers |
