PIPING AND BAND COMPETITION.
If you are interested in participating in the Southeast Florida Scottish Festival And Highland Games piping competition you can view or download an entry form in pdf format by clicking here. http://www.sassf.org/events/festival/piping/PipingDrummingComp2012.pdf
For questions that the competition form can not answer please contact. David Campbell at dave8439@hotmail.com
For those interested in watching the individual pipers compete, make sure to arrive as soon as the gates open because the individual competitors start early.
As the pipe bands compete in the band competition area you will notice a few people standing around the band circle. These are certified judges or apprentice judges who are being supervised by a certified judge. Bands are classified by their playing ability and winning record. They will compete against other bands in their class. As the competition season progresses points are awarded based upon the bands standing at each sanctioned competition that the band has competed. At the end of the season the points for each competing band are compared and the band with the highest points are declared season champions in their class.
There are several Bands in the South Florida area. If you are interested in learning to be a pipe band piper or you are an experienced piper most of the bands will welcome you and some have a student level program.
