Help Shape the Future of Queensland Pipe Bands.
Have your say on the next three years of banding in Queensland.
PBAQ invites every band to take part in a focused roundtable discussion on the priorities, services and opportunities that matter most to our community.
.
This is your chance to help influence future planning, strengthen support for bands, and build a more connected, sustainable and active pipe band movement across Queensland.
.
What we’ll discuss:
• Band support: what bands need from the National Association and PBAQ.
• Membership growth: recruiting, retaining and supporting players, including youth development.
• Volunteers: attracting, supporting and retaining the people who keep banding running.
• Contests: future timing, locations, promotion, rules and participation from 2027 to 2029.
• Education: training, certificates and skills development for members and bands.
• 2028 Australian Championships: location, timing and communication priorities.
• Judging: developing and supporting the next generation of adjudicators.
.
Before the roundtable:
Band secretaries are asked to share these topics with their members and committees before the event. Please discuss them internally and come ready to share your band’s views, priorities and ideas.
There are no right or wrong answers. We want honest, practical feedback that will help guide future decisions.
