MORE than 700 talented young musicians will blow up a storm as Scotland’s biggest piping and drumming competition for school pupils returns after an enforced two-year absence.
The competition, launched to create a renaissance in Scotland’s national instrument, will see more than 60 pipe bands, quartets and freestyle ensembles, gather for one of the biggest events in the bagpiping calendar.
Now organisers of the Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championship (SSPBC) are urging schools that may not yet have signed up to claim their place, with the day providing a thrilling showcase for young musicians, irrespective of their level.
