They competed against 16 other bands and gained a respectable third place finish, still remaining at the top tier of their grade after winning the top prize for the last two years.
In a statement pipe major William McArthur said the band had improved dramatically over the last year.
"This really shows the standard every band is putting out there and how much everyone is improving.
"This is really exciting for the future of banding."
This year the band featured a lot of younger players, who came along and competed in a number of events.
Mr McArthur said it was exciting seeing the band growing and more young people getting involved in the art form.
Also for this year, the band joined forces with the Celtic Pipe Band from Nelson where all the U18 members from each band played in the juvenile category.
The juvenile band had doubled in size over the last year, making it one of the biggest to compete on the day.
Mr Mcarthur was excited to see what the upcoming year would bring and said he had already made plans for the season ahead.
Members of the South Canterbury band wished to thank the Toyota community van for helping them get to Invercargill and any other supporters and sponsors who had helped out throughout the year.
They will be holding an open day on Sunday April 6 from 11am-2pm at 2 Turnbull St, Timaru for anyone wishing to get involved or learn more about the Highland pipe band.
Before the open day, members from the band will also be performing some music at selected primary schools in the area.
