The Shorecrest Highlanders Marching Band was named the Best Overall Band at the 2016 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland on Thursday.

The marching band was already in elite company as one of only 14 marching bands from across the United States and United Kingdom who were accepted to play in this year’s parade, making the award an incredible honor.

You can watch video of the parade here. Shorecrest is introduced at the 35:40 mark.
