The Central North Island Centre of the Royal New Zealand Pipe Band Assn. Inc. serves affiliated Pipe bands within the South Auckland, Coromandel, Waikato, King Country, Bay of Plenty, East Cape and Central Plateau regions of the central North Island of New Zealand.
New Zealand |
 This is the region covered by the Central North Island Centre of the Royal New Zealand Pipebands Assn.. Inc |
More pipers and drummers (experienced and learners) are needed by
all pipe-bands in the region. Especially the towns and districts outside Hamilton.
Youth Band.
The centre organises
inter-pipeband competitions for the region and fosters
improvement in the general standard piping and drumming. To this
end it runs "school' camps for young pipers and drummers
from throughout the region in the form of a "Youth
Band". This band is for persons up to the age of 18. Because
the Youth Band is made up from members of the regions pipebands
it has improved the social interaction between all bands in the
region. The band puts on performances in different towns within
the region and promotes the pipeband culture very well. Visit the
youth band's web-site: www.cniypb.get.to
 Centre bands visit the township of Te Kuiti |
