World’s Week Grade 1 Practice Guide

Question: Is there a better way for you to learn and get better than to watch and listen to the best as they polish their own craft? Answer: no!

So, once again, pipes|drums Magazine is pleased to bring readers our annual calendar of the practices and appearances of Grade 1 bands competing at the World Pipe Band Championships.

We asked all of the bands to send us their information so that you can check them out, if possible. Some bands have not gotten back to us yet, so, before you think they’re being stand-offish and uncaring about their faithful fans, please be sure to keep checking for updates to the list.

Before setting out on a long journey to hear your favourite band, it’s a good idea to double-check that they will actually by holding their practice. Plans change.

We hope that you find this our annual schedule of practices beneficial and of service.

It’s what we do here at pipes|drums.
