As of now, all pre-season events, including the McHugh & Swinton events, are cancelled.  The Alma Highland Festival and the Milwaukee Highland Games are also cancelled; the Chicago Scots Scottish Festival and Highland Games cancellation was announced previously.

As of 5/27/2020, all events with the exception of the Mid-America Pipe Band Championship in Waukesha, WI have been cancelled.  The Secretary/Treasurer has sent out an e-mail to the impacted bands & individuals regarding refunds for their entry fee(s) through to those games. Some refunds have been sent earlier in April that did not include the recently cancelled events in Columbus & Broken Arrow.  The MWPBA is rectifying this situation as quickly as possible.

Refunds for entry fees to any cancelled event will be provided.  We ask that you be patient with us as we work out the details. 

If you have any further questions, you can reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you,

The MWPBA
