Our piping adjudicator is a well known face at WPA competitions, encouraging his students and appreciating the music, always willing to help out. Colin MacRae Sr has a long history of talent with piping and pipe bands in the Seattle area, as does his family and we greatly appreaciate his support adjudicating Saturday.  

Colin MacRae Sr. is the son of Alexander MacRae, founder of the Washington Scottish and the Seattle Pipe Bands.  He started taking piping lessons in 1939 from Alistair MacMillan of Tacoma in the old style of Piobaireachd.  Since then has been strongly involved in the Northwest Scottish Society.  Colin followed in his father and brother’s footsteps and was the pipe major of the Washington Scottish Pipe Band from 1967 to 1969.  He has taught pipers in the area for many years and is known for teaching the musical traditions in his piping. He also passed down the tradition of piping and drumming to his children and grandchildren.  His son, Colin MacRae, carried on the family tradition as the PM of the WaScots from 1978 to 2000.
