Schedule for 2003, ’04 RSPBA Majors (updated)
The schedule for 2003 and ’04 Royal Scottish Pipe Band Associations (RSPBA) pipe band championships that Piper & Drummer Online acquired were incorrectly supplied by the association.
The dates below are correct, and those that changed from the original story are highlighted in italics.
2003
2004
The RSPBA has been heavily criticized in the past for scheduling major championships at times only weeks before the event, leaving bands scrambling to make arrangements or even deciding not to attend.
“The RSPBA is really doing some excellent things,” said one observer. “They are listening to the membership and learning from some of the mistakes of the past.”
The World Championships are booked for Glasgow for the next decade, apparently, because of an agreement struck with Glasgow City Council several years ago. Many believe that a true “world” championship should change country each year or even occasionally.
