professional pipers to encourage support for the piping
community;
- Piping competitions to encourage development
of piping skills;
- Travel and living expenses for piping
students to attend schools, workshops, performances, and
competitions to increase the level of piping competency;

and
- Any other activities and events to encourage support
of playing The Great Highland Bagpipe and Scottish and Irish
music and their connection to music derived from Scotland
and Ireland.
