This year all entrants were entered in a draw for one of two week-long scholarships for the Ontario School of Piping & Drumming. The Ontario School of Piping & Drumming generously donated half a scholarship each for a piper and a drummer. The other half of the piping tuition is sponsored by the Dofasco Pipe Band. The second half of the drumming scholarship is sponsored by Cameron’s Drumming Studio. This prize now inlcudes overnight accomodations and all meals at the school for the week: thanks to the Niargara Regional Police Pipe Band and the Hamilton Police Pipe Band. The tuition must be used at the 2011 school.
