Competition Grade

If you are changing grade(s), or are a new registrant at Grade 3 or higher, you must submit a Grading Petition to the MWPBA Music Board. Read the notes on regrade carefully and check the box on Grading Petition requirements.

You may not regrade yourself (except as noted).
All regrading Petitions must be submitted no later than March 31 to be considered for approval by the MWPBA Music Board.
If you have competed one year at Practice Chanter, you are automatically regraded to Grade 5 Junior or Grade 5 Senior Piping. There is no need to submit a separate Regrade Petition in this case
Grade 4 and Grade 5 Piping is split into Junior (under 18) and Senior (18 and over on Jan 1, 2025) divisions.
Pipers who have competed at least one season at either Grade 5 Piping Light Music (previously known as Novice) may regrade themselves to Grade 4 Piping Light Music without further justification. There is no need to submit a separate Grading Petition in this case.
The Solo Registrar cannot approve regrade requests. This is the responsibility of the Music Board.
The Grading Petition form and complete grading information are available here.

If you are regrading, or are a new registrant at grade 3 or above, you are required to submit a Grading Petition. Your Membership application will not be processed until the Music Board makes its decision.
