The Midwest Pipe Band Association

The Alliance of North American Pipe Band Associations (ANAPBA) has adopted new massed band scores for all drummers for the 2022 season.

These new drum scores will be used at ALL MWPBA events in 2022 and going forward.

  • You can download the entire set of drum scores here, and listen to a recording of each snare score here.
  • The pipe settings are available here. Note that the pipe settings have been re-typeset for 2022, but are otherwise unchanged.
  • The MWPBA realizes that not all bands may have a Drum Major, and therefore may not be familiar with massed band voice and mace commands. This short and simple MWPBA Massed Band Commands 101 may help, which contains a brief overview of the standard commands at MWPBA events.

In order to receive travel allowances at most games, bands need to be able to participate in massed bands, which includes the ability to play the tunes listed here.
