The implementation of standardised tune requirements aims to enhance the overall standard of solo piping throughout the nation. This initiative allows pipers from one branch to competently participate in contests hosted by another branch, ensuring familiarity with the tune requirements and fair competition against players of similar grades.<\/p>\n

While these tune requirements are obligatory for solo piping contests organised by Pipe Band Australia, they do not prohibit promoters\/branches from organizing specialized events.<\/p>\n

As part of our commitment to improving the standard and ongoing development of Piobaireachd, Australia has adopted The Piobaireachd Society Silver Medals Set Tunes.<\/p>\n

Piobaireachd elements will change on 1 December in line with the Piobaireachd Society Gold and Silver medal tune announcements. These requirements will apply to the following year of competition allowing competitors ample time to prepare.<\/p>\n
