Fortune Favours the Piper.
March 14th, 2026, at the Scottish Rite in Hamilton, ON.

Starting at 6:30pm, we will have 9 pipers competing against each other with their own selection of tunes, but with a twist!

A wheel will be spun prior to their set, and whatever the wheel lands on, competitors will have to include in their set.

The pipers are:
Joseph Biggs
Tyler Harris
Tyler Bridge
Greg Bowen
Conor Cooper
Gillian Blaney
Matt Greco
Dylan Whitemore
Peter Amounier.

This is a crowd-judged event, so everyone can get involved and vote for their favourite piper.

There will also be a performance from the Ontario Youth Pipe Band to kick off the evening!

Tickets are $15 and cover entrance with light appetizers. A cash bar will also be available.d be
