If you are registering multiple bands, please register them separately (one grade at a time; not all at once). This allows us to collect unique information for each competing band should the information differ between grades within one organization.
The Dunedin Highland Games offers pipe band contests for Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5! Our grades 2 and 3 contests offer both MSR and Medley events. Grade 4 is a medley (even day rules according to EUSPBA) and Grade 5 a Quick March Medley. All events are sanctioned by the EUSPBA.

Grades 2 & 3 prizes are awarded to the overall grade winner (MSR + Medley)
- Grade 2 - $1,000/$800/$600
- Grade 3 - $800/$500/$400
- Grade 4 - $500/$400/$300
