Schools Band Competition Goes Ahead Online in Freestyle Format

A schools’ pipe band competition is going ahead in March – even if schools stay shut. Normally hundreds of players and supporters converge for the Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships – but this year it is going online.

Prizes total over £2,500 from a judging panel made up of some of the biggest names in traditional music.
