Last year, we launched the world's first-ever online piping competition. Today, we've just completed the fourth BagpipeLessons.com Online Competition with an expanded list of piping events and drumming events, too! We got a great response and we received nearly 300 entries in 37 piping events and 19 side drumming events with competitors in seven different grade levels, from 15 different countries on six continents.
Competitors were judged by their competition video recordings, each competitor received a complete sheet of comments from our international panel of world-class judges, and the prizewinning videos have been posted for the world to see. Results were posted immediately on the
BagpipeLessons.com Facebook page. Visit us on Facebook and make sure to click

P/M Alasdair Gillies Memorial Challenge 6/8 March
This event was created to honor the great piping legend, Alasdair Gillies, who recently passed away. Alasdair will go down as one of the greatest pipers in history. For this event, pipers competed by playing a single 6/8 March. Prizes were awarded in several different age categories, and the first place winners were judged against each other to determine our overall champion and winner of a $200 scholarship to go towards their piping tuition.
