   <catdesc>The Triumph Street Pipe Band is a competitive and concert pipe band based in Greater Vancouver, B.C., Canada. In the 1970's and early 80's, the band ranked among the best in the world, and was the first band from outside of Scotland to win a major prize at a World Championship in 1979.

In 2007, Pipe Major David Hilder, Lead Drummer Andre Tessier, and Pipe Sergeant Shaunna Hilder, were asked to lead a new edition of the Triumph Street Pipe Band.  They drew an infusion of local talent from the 2006 Grade 2 World Champion Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band, with the majority of its members holding multiple World Pipe Band Championship titles at the Juvenile, Grade 2 and Grade 1 levels. 

Competing at the Grade 2 level, the newly emerged Triumph Street Pipe Band won the 2007 Grade 2 North American Pipe Band Championship and the 2007 Grade 2 BC Pipers Association Grand Aggregate Award.
