The MWPBA Rules and Regulations have been updated for 2014.
The main revisions are:
- re-introduction of the Practice Chanter grade for Piping, Light Music competition
- organizers of Pro, Grade 1, and Grade 2 MSR events to schedule 10 minutes between contestants
The Practice Chanter Grade is for all ages. Practice Chanter soloists must be registered members of the MWPBA or another pipe band association and may only play in the grade for a single season. Practice Chanter soloists do not need to wear highland dress. Practice Chanter soloists play 2 parts of Quick March music. See Sections III. B. and III. C. of The Rules for more information.
