The EUSPBA Mission
The EUSPBA recognizes that music competitions provide a means of improving piping, drumming, and pipe band musical performances, and has established a set of rules and regulations. We aspire to assist individuals and bands in reaching, not only their highest competitive potential, but also raising the level of our art. Contests that agree to follow the EUSPBA guidelines may be sanctioned by the association. EUSPBA sanctioning provides competitors a measure of uniformity in terms of rules, standards, and judging.
Background of The EUSPBA
In 1964, the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association was formed in the area that is roughly now the MidAtlantic Branch of the EUSPBA. We have grown to cover the entire East coast, stretching from Maine to Texas. This is the largest geographical area of any association of our kind in the world. In terms of individual memberships, we are the largest organization in the world. Our band membership is second only to the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association.
