Within the aims, the Club provides a varied social and piping programme for members. In addition, the Club seeks to promote and foster the development of young players through the Glasgow Highland Club Schools’ Pipe Band and Individual Competitions.
Schools’ Pipe Band and Individual Competitions
This annual competition is designed to help schools develop their pipers and drummers and their performance, that is: their collective performance as a band and their individual performance as a solo competitor. The Competition is positioned early in the competing season so that bands and individuals can use the experience to improve their performance skills, to get positive critiques from experienced judges, and gain confidence “on the boards”.
The Kettlewell Legacy to encourage junior piping – The Club is very grateful for the recent donation of the Kettlewell Legacy that will encourage and reward junior pipers (under 14) at the Annual Schools’ Competition.
Historical aims
The aims have changed slightly since its establishment in 1882, as the club continues to evolve.
