COMPETITION

In 1964, the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association was formed to host piping and drumming competitions in the area that is roughly now the MidAtlantic Branch of the EUSPBA.

 

Since then, we have grown to cover the entire East coast, stretching from Maine to Texas. We are the largest pipe band association in the world by geography and by individual membership.

RESULTS

EUSPBA offers contests for pipers, drummers (snare, tenor, bass), drum majors and pipe bands at all skill levels, novice through professional. Players are graded by skill, generally according to past contest results. 

As each competitive season progresses, players accumulate points. By the end of the season, a "Champion Supreme" competitor is named from each grade/discipline.
