What’s better than one piper? FOUR…. obviously!
Get ready for something a little different from the usual outdoor Championships — The Mid Ulster Piping Quartet Contest is here, and it’s all about pure piping talent… indoors, up close, and sounding spectacular!
Our Mid Ulster Section, in supporting new ideas and developing new avenues of performance and enjoyment is proud to present a quartet contest for this year
Saturday 9 May 2026
Cookstown Primary School (right next to the High School where the outdoor Championships are held)
Starting at 12 noon
This is your chance to hear piping at its most focused and musical — just four pipers, one stage, and endless piping magic!
Bands can choose to enter more than one quartet to compete and the Pipe Major may participate in each quartet.
Entries are now open! Full details and syllabus available here
Closing date: Monday 20 April
Come be part of something fresh, fun, and proudly piping!
