Yes that's what it's usually called in pipe band circles, "the Worlds".
What I was referring to was you calling it the "World Bagpipe Championships."
We have to be careful about not including our drummers. They're sensitive about stuff like that 
Yes we usually call them "pipe bands" which at least potentially includes the drummers.
More inclusive, but longer to say, is "pipes & drums" (the official title of many bands).
Better yet, from the drummers' perspective, is "drums & pipes"
