About the ACPBA
About the ACPBA
The Atlantic Canada Pipe Band Association oversees the piping, drumming, and pipe band competitions at events throughout the Atlantic Canadian provinces. The majority of these events take place during local Highland Games during the summer months. The association also hosts several competitions and events in the winter and spring.
An executive team made up of ACPBA members governs the association and ensures that its constitution is upheld and respected. The ACPBA is dedicated to improving all aspects of solo piping, drumming, and pipe band music. It is our goal to inspire our members to carry on the traditions of Celtic culture, and to continually raise the level of our art.
