Grade 4 Band Wins 5th Straight Grand Aggregate Title

Congratulations to the grade 4 band for another fantastic season. The band earned the season-long aggregate title for best grade 4 band in the British Columbia Pipers’ Association - with wins at the BCPA Annual Gathering, the B.C. highland games, Skagit Highland Games, and the Pacific Northwest Highland Games.

NWJPB grades 4 & 5 at the Pacific NW Highland Games

Not to be outdone, our grade 5 band went two-for-two taking first place at the Skagit Valley Highland Games and the Enumclaw games. The band’s result is especially impressive considering it’s only the grade 5 band’s second season.

Kudos as well to band members Seth Baird, Max Fenwick, and Jayce Edetsberger for earning solo grand aggregate titles for beginner tenor drumming, grade 2 individual snare drumming, and grade 1 individual snare drumming respectively.

The NWJPB organization couldn’t be more proud of the hard work, dedication, and commitment these young musicians have put in this season. The long practices, late-nights, and countless hours traveling around the pacific northwest speaks to the character and maturity of every member of the two bands.

Missed the highland games season? No problem. You can enjoy the thrill of the band’s last performance of the 2025-2026 season at the PNW Highland Games in Enumclaw with this great video from the BCPA.
