In Scotland the Band Contest Season has now finished with the Maurie DeHayr World Championships. (Patron) Andrew Roach Congratulations to the Australian players and bands who participated (President) and special congratulations to Inveraray and District and Stuart Alex McConnell Liddell as Stuart has visited this Society several times now. (Secretary/Treasurer) Jim Allan Many solo contest results from Scotland inside this newsletter as well, with the big ones of Oban and Inverness now just on the Donald Galloway doorstep. Interesting to see new names emerging in the prize lists.

In Queensland we have three solo contests in a row now, at Scots PGC Warwick, BBC and Ipswich which have formed up into a "mini­ season". Best of luck to all who venture into these contests.

The three remaining Society events for the year are also special ones, with the International Recital in September, the Julie Appleton­ Seymour contest in October and the Jack McCandlish trophy in November. Contact

The Judges

QHPS Piobaireachd Group Rochedale State High School, Priestdale Road

The August meeting of the group was one of those days you shudder to think about; with Ross away overseas, illness and busy piping events all happening our attendance was very poor, but we managed a morning of music and interesting discussion of presentation of the tunes. Bruce MacLeod stepped to the fore and after tuning his pipe he played Struan Robertson’s Salute . His presentation of the tune quite well done. Cabar Feidh Gu Brah a tune composed by Donald McLeod to mark the amalgamation of the Seaforths with the Camerons is a favourite of David Mariner and this performance by him was well delivered and received. After a “stretched” morning tea David again played some light music to settle his pipe and played a tune written by Donald McPhee and dedicated to P.M Richard Parkes ( Field Marshall Montgomery) naturally its titled Salute to P.M. Richard Parkes MBE. An interesting tune and enjoyable. The session was concluded with further discussion of “modern tunes” and their appeal to present players. Our Next meeting is set for SUNDAY 10th. SEPTEMBER so not to clash with “Fathers’ Day. . Page 3 August 2017 QHPS CONTEST RESULTS
