2026 PPBSO Champion Supreme Winners!
We are pleased to officially announce the 2026 Champion Supreme Solo and Band Winners.
Thanks to every soloist and band that competed this season, your dedication, hard work and talent is appreciated. We are proud of the strong and competitive spirit displayed by all our members .
Winning a Champion Supreme award in any category is one of hard work, perseverance and personal sacrifice and in the case of a band, intense teamwork and leadership.
All winners will be awarded their Champion Supreme trophy at the PPBSO’s Champion Supreme Awards Ceilidh to be held on Saturday November 28th at the Scottish Rite, 4 Queen St South, Hamilton.
Again this year, the ceilidh format is about coming to celebrate all the winners and enjoying an evening with friends and music. Winning bands are welcome to play during the evening and we will be reaching out to arrange details.
