Northwest Junior Pipe Band fielded two competition pipe bands for the first time in our 12 year history at the Bellingham Highland Games Saturday, June 2nd, 2007. Grade 4 took 4^th of 5 bands, with two judges ranking us 3^rd. Grade 5 (beginner level youth bands) took first place, with unanimous ranking by the judges!

In addition, NWJPB held a “feeding frenzy” providing lunch for Sir James McDonald Pipe Band, White Spot Pipe Band, and Fraser Valley Youth Pipe Bands.  We had a volunteer (thanks to Karen Gayle, our new Instrument Quartermaster!!) offering massages in our information tent, and we were offering “Future Piper” and “Future Drummer” temporary tattoos. It’s going to be a great competition season for NWJPB, stay tuned!

Our schedule has been updated with several new performances planned. Next up: A Golf course has been purchased by two non-profit golf organizations and we’ll be providing entertainment for the festivities June 22^nd. June 23^rd is the Tacoma Highland Games, and June 24^th is the Bellevue Strawberry Festival. Our schedule is available on www.nwjpb.org/schedule.
