In 2007, Dowco started our sponsorship of the Triumph Street Pipe Band and the band added 'Dowco' to their name to become the Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band. The band is a top level competitive and concert band, based in Greater Vancouver, B.C.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, the band ranked among the best in the world and was the first band from outside of Scotland to win a major prize at the World Championships in 1979. In 2007, Pipe Major David Hilder, Lead Drummer Andre Tezzier, and Pipe Sergeant Shaunna Hilder, were asked to lead a new edition of the Triumph Street Pipe Band. They drew an infusion of 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. The newly emerged Triumph Street Pipe Band won the 2007 Grade 2 North American Pipe Band Championship and the 2007 Grade 2 B.C. Pipers’ Association Grand Aggregate Award.
