What:
The Knockout competitions are a series of events whereby professional pipers and drummers compete and advance to the next round or get "knocked out". There are 3 rounds, usually about 16 to 20 pipers starting in the first round, 8 advancing to the second round and 4 to the final round. This event started as a means to draw the membership out to the AGM. Drumming KO schedules are dependent on the number of entries received. 2011 BCPA Annual Dinner and Knockout Final The 2011 BCPA Annual Dinner and Knockout Final was a great success, with fantastic food and top-notch, entertaining performances.
