BAGPIPER Proficiency Patch Musician Badge

[Brother Falldown]

I was rummaging around on ebay and I found a "BAGPIPER Proficiency Patch Musician Badge". What does the military consider as proficient?

It's a British military insignia. They go to an army piping school for about 6 months and come out as competent pipers. In the US, they would probably compete amongst grade III pipers.

Thanks George! As you can imagine the seller was a little more than vague in his description.
