The Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust supports education and communities, and protects and expands Scotland's unique musical traditions. There is a huge unmet demand to learn the pipes and drums amongst Scotland's pupils. SSPDT supports schools, local education authorities and communities to provide tuition, lends bagpipes free of charge, organises the national schools pipe band championships and delivers professional development for tutors.
Young people who play in bands develop skills that help them in life, learning and work.
65 bands, 150 schools, 800 players, one competition! Join us in Kilmarnock on 8 March 2020.
