Pipe Bands

The Bundanoon Highland Gathering is pleased to announce the list of Pipe Bands that are attending this year’s Brigadoon on 1st April 2023

PARTICIPATION AT BRIGADOON IS BY INVITATION ONLY.

The limit for pipe bands performing at BRIGADOON has been set by the committee at 25 bands.

Once that number is reached no exceptions can or will be made to allow participation.

Therefore pipe bands are selected on a “ first come basis” if bands fail to respond by the cutoff date then they are automatically excluded unless a vacancy occurs which will then be offered to the first band on the waitlist

PIPE BANDS MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

1. Registered with Pipe Band Association NSW. Here
2. Have a comprehensive insurance policy.
3. Pipe Bands cannot participate if their  numbers are lower than: 6 Pipers,  3 Snare Drum, 1 Bass Drum and 1 Tenor Drum
IF BANDS CANNOT MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS THEN IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THEY JOIN ANOTHER BAND AND PARTICIPATE WITH THEM ON THE DAY.
