The above memberships were ratified at the Music Board meeting held on 1 May 2019. All are certified by one or more associations in their discipline and are active adjudicators and examiners.
Bill Russell has retired from the Board, after 12 years of valuable service. He was one of three, who initiated the policies of the Board, in it’s early years. We thank him for his service.
The Music Board sets policies, regulations and oversees certification for all musical activities conducted by the Pipe Band Association, Singapore. The primary focus of the Board is to develop and maintain a standard of music and certification, in line with other major associations, notably, that of the RSPBA.
