The Highlanders have a long history of competing at Highland Games in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, and Minnesota and have even travelled to Scotland to compete there. There have been some years when the band has fielded two bands in separate grades and some years we’ve been unable to compete due to lack of enough players. The band currently competes at the Grade 5 level in the Midwest Pipe Band Association. Learning sets specifically for competition and practicing for competition makes us a better band!
