What Are Grades?
Members of CLASP must first obtain a grading in order to compete.
There are 3 grads, Grade 1 being the highest standard and Grade 3 being the entry level standard. Grade 3 is not a grade for learner pipers - some applicants may not achieve this standard when graded.
Competitors will be given a grade for Piobaireachd and/or a grade for Light Music.
After competing in competitions, members may be re-graded if their standard is considered to be in-appropriate for the grade level in which they competed.
