CLASP 2026 May Live Online won by Webb, Robinson, Braunsky & Schrall

The Internet – May 1-29, 2026 – Brady Webb of Nova Scotia, Canada, was the Grade 1 aggregate winner in the May 2026 CLASP Live Online competition, in which contestants performed live via video on May 1st and 2nd, with their performances recorded by proctors administering the event; their performances were then assessed over the next month.

Alister Robinson won the overall prize in Grade 2, and Michael Braunsky and Jurgen Schrall were the aggregate winners in Grade 3 and Grade 4, respectively.

The Competition League for Adult Solo Pipers (CLASP) started its Live Online events during the 20220-22 pandemic as a way for pipers around the world to compete remotely.

For his success, Webb receives travel and accommodation to compete in the November 2026 Sunbelt Amateur competition, sponsored by piping impresario Eric Stein. All first-prize winners in the May Live Online event received a live stream pass to enjoy the October 2026 Glenfiddich Championships.
