From quartets to pipe bands at the top of their game - a showcase of Scotland's young musical talent.
A fusion of music and instruments... there’s no other competition like it in the pipe band world!
A thrilling first taste of competition ...
The Championships is a showcase of the talent of our young musicians designed to promote the playing of our national instruments.
The second Sunday in March sees hundreds of young people from across Scotland, and sometimes further afield, come together for a day of music, friendship and fun.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were not able to hold the Championships in March 2021, but instead we were delighted to run the Freestyle element of the competition online. You can re-watch all the videos from the competition on our Facebook page.
Regretfully we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the 2022 Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships to 2023. It was not a decision taken lightly and one that involved a number of considerations. You can read about the rationale behind the decision here. We very much look forward to your company at the next Championships on Sunday 12 March 2023.
