Yes, this goes for NWJPB members too!
Since 1995, the NWJPB has been dedicated to teaching Scottish piping and drumming to young people in the Seattle area and Western Washington.
We are a competition and performance-oriented band, entering roughly 7 contests per summer, ranging from Vancouver BC Canada to Portland Oregon USA.
NWJPB is proud of the impact we are having both on youth and families through our unique cultural arts program, outreach and performances. Momentum and support are building in the community to send NWJPB to Scotland in 2008.
Our mission to promote the art of Scottish piping and drumming through performances and community awareness is based on a strong foundation of positive energy, support and encouragement among all of our members. We have seen even very young children encouraged to reach for new heights personally and musically.
Volunteer instructors donate tens of thousands of dollars worth of instruction during our twice a week practices, and dozens of volunteers support the youth and the fundraising required to provide uniforms, instruments, and travel costs for our upcoming World Pipe Band Championships competition in August of 2008.
We nurture a supportive learning environment and the band members treat each other with respect and are often seen cheering on solo competitors, exchanging high-five's and encouraging each other to step up and do great things.
After a very successful 2005 season, the band was upgraded from Grade 5 to Grade 4. The 2006 season saw the band make a huge leap forward in playing calibre and numbers. In three short years the organization has tripled in size and now holds a roster of over 30 members. All of whom are 18 or younger. The band placed well throughout 2006, as well as tying for "best drum corps" at the Pacific Northwest Highland Games, the biggest contest of the year.
2007 has been a successful year as well. NWJPB Grade 5 was undefeated in Grade 5 competitions, and Grade 4 won 1st place at the Tacoma and Whidbey Island Highland Games, 2nd in the Washington State Championships, and 2nd at the Portland Highland Games. Northwest Junior Pipe Band finished our competition season ranked 4th of 18 Grade 4 pipe bands who competed in BC Pipers' Assocation competitions.
SCOTLAND 2008! In August of 2008 the band will travel to Glasgow Scotland to compete in the World Pipe Band Championships. Major fundraising is now underway to make this trip possible. The band will be competing in the Juvenile division, and is now seeking young pipers and drummers who are interested in taking a swing at the Worlds.
