HBHS Band stars at Central North Island Pipe Band Competition

Solo achievements: Alexander Nielsen, who won the prestigious New Zealand Bronze Medal piobaireachd (pronounced Pee Brock) event in 2019, backed up his results by winning the main solo piping event at the Paeroa Highland Games, the B grade piobaireachd solo piping event. An outstanding result as this event has several adult competitors (including Alexander's father who got 3rd place).
All the above-mentioned students are traveling to Invercargill to compete at the New Zealand National Pipe Band Championships on March 13th and 14th.
