Membership

This page contains BCPA Membership related forms and links to online membership application/renewals/payments for the 2012/13 season.

It also includes a link to a survey we would like members to complete to provide their assessment of BCPA programs and services provided during the 2011/12 season.
We hope you have enjoyed the programs and services the BCPA provides. We also hope that you will renew your membership to continue supporting the activities that have made the BCPA one of the most respected and progressive piping, drumming and pipe band associations in the world.

A reminder to all bands competing in BCPA sanctioned competitions:
Per BCPA PIpe Band Competition Rules, band rosters must be submitted to BCPA by March 1 each year and are to only include playing members (see the Band Registration & Roster form for more details).If new players are added or existing players removed during the season, an updated roster must be provided using the above form along with a completed Release/TransferAddition form(s) below. Note that proof of a player’s release from a band outside the BCPA jurisdiction of BC, Washington, and Oregon is not required.

Transfers between bands within BCPA must use the Release/TransferAddition form. Both the releasing and the gaining bands must provide updated rosters to BCPA.

Some Highland Games have commented on what appears to be “padding” of rosters to obtain additional admission tickets. If this happens, bands could be charged admission by the Games organizers for members on the roster who do not compete. Rosters provided to a Highland Games should be consistent with that provided to BCPA and reflect only the players actually competing at that Highland Games.
