BC Piper's Association Annual Gathering
30th March 2024 - Seaquam Secondary School, Delta BC
The British Columbia Piper’s Association is the governing body for all of the Highland Games and Piping and Drumming competitions in Lower Mainland BC, as well as Vancouver Island, and most of Washington and Oregon. Every year they hold the Annual Gathering (“The Indoor”) on the Easter Long Weekend, and this serves as the first major competition of the season for most pipers, drummers, and bands in the area.
GCPB competed in this contest successfully, placing 2nd overall in the grade 3 category. As always this was a great first outing for all.

16th Annual Burns Night
10th February 2024 - Bonsor Banquet Hall, Burnaby BC
Every year, the District 5050 Pipe Band Society endeavors to host a “Burns Night” event, which is a popular tradition in Scottish culture, honoring the life and memory of the beloved Scottish poet Robbie Burns. These events usually feature bagpiping, highland dance, reading of poetry, and of course traditional Scottish cuisine, including the infamous haggis. Our burns dinner of course features performances by the Greighlan Crossing Pipe Band, as well as guests including dancers, and a DJ. This would be the first burns night the society has been able to host since 2020 thanks to the pandemic and its financial consequences. This event is one of our main fundraisers, and is especially important on our Scotland year!
This year’s Burns night was easily one of our best. All the entertainment was great, food was lovely, and so far as we can tell, everyone had an excellent time. We look forward to hosting this event again in years to come
