Solo competitors will need to be members of the WUSPBA (or their home association, if they live outside the WUSPBA area) to compete in contests sanctioned by this association. Solo membership, at $25 per year, includes a subscription to the WUSPBA Newsletter, Words & Music, and carries the right to vote at WUSPBA General Meetings, as well as Branch Meetings. Please note that the solo membership price is $25 for new memberships and renewals prior to January 15th of each year. After this date, dues are $35 for renewals. Please note that dues are calendar year based and good for one year only! Individual memberships, at $25 per year, include a subscription to our newsletter Words & Music. This is a great way to support piping and drumming and keep up with what is happening, even if you don't play in a band or compete as a solo player.

Adjudicators are pipers, drummers, or drum majors residing within the Western United States who become eligible to judge WUSPBA events upon approval by the Executive Committee and payment of the membership fees of $25, payable by January 15 of each year.
