Yes indeed, in the piping community we read about it in pipes/drums

Sad when a very good band shuts down, loss of sponsor they give as the reason.
However another thing is that they had just won their grade and were poised to be upgraded. I don't know why, but I've seen it happen several times with bands: they have consistent success in a particular grade, but when upgraded the wheels come off, sometimes before they play a single contest in the higher grade, sometimes after a short time in the higher grade.
Which makes bands like Inveraray so impressive, that keep climbing grades and have continued success at every level.
