Education
Membership provides entry to seasonal workshops like those presented last summer under the “Up Yer Game” series of free workshops for pipers and drummers. Members receive a 20% discount off all seasonal learning programs, like the Summer Blast! summer school (a $70 saving).
Community
PPBSO branches across Ontario are active – especially outside of the busy summer season – and offer members opportunities to network socially and professionally within a collegial, like-minded group of music lovers.
The summer games circuit, provides a dynamic competitive forum for members to hone their skills and have them tested across peer groups in exciting musical events.
Membership ensures an instant connection with our association partners in the global piping and drumming community.
Tradition
An opportunity to influence and preserve a tradition. Membership offers a gateway to volunteer and make a positive and satisfying difference through fund-raising, events management and governance that are all integral to the health and vitality of the long, great tradition of the music of bagpipes and drums.
