2017 Bitterroot Celtic Games & Gathering

The 2017 Bitterroot Celtic Games and Gathering was held in Hamilton, MT, this past weekend with pipers and drummers from Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Washington participating in the event. The solo piping and drumming competitions were coordinated by Jesse Callender with assistance from Rob Lynn, and a number of MPS members competed in the solo piping competitions held Saturday morning.  The results are listed below.

If you weren’t able to make it this year, we hope to see you there next year for a great weekend of piping and drumming at what has to be one of the nicest venues in the country!
