Webb, Bowers, MacKenzie & Moore in the chips in latest CLASP live online solo piping

The Internet – October 31-November 27, 2025 – The latest “live online” solo piping contest run by the Competition League for Amateur Solo Pipers saw the usual worldwide entry of adult pipers who performed over two days via recorded live video, their selections assessed over the next month by the judges.

The overall winners were Grade 1: Brady Webb, Halifax, Nova Scotia; Grade 2: Jacob Bowers, Houston; Grade 3: Ronaldo MacKenzie, Argentina; and Grade 4: Maureen Moore, Pennsylvania. Webb had the distinction of winning all four of the Grade 1 events.

The results from each CLASP event are compiled into a league points table over the year to determine the grand champions in each grade. The league is run by the National Piping Centre, and membership is open to any piper 18 or older who is not a member of the Competing Pipers’ Association or graded Open/Professional by their home association.
