Could you be a PPBSO Judge?

The Pipers' and Pipe Band Society of Ontario (PPBSO) needs to ensure we have a qualified panel of judges willing and ready to take on the challenge of judging.

The PPBSO Music Committee is preparing for another off-season of judges' training and certification. The Judging Sub-Committee will be training and testing potential Judges during online sessions in the winter on solo piping, band piping, solo drumming, band drumming, piobaireachd, and ensemble. 

We are inviting those who qualify and are interested in joining our judges' panel to apply by October 15th. The qualifications for adjudicators are listed in the Competition Rule Book, Appendix 1, Section 3. The competition rule book can be found HERE.

Potential candidates should also be familiar with the Judges Code of Practice.

Applications should be sent to admin@ppbso.org no later than October 15th, 2025.  You will find the application form and all the information you need HERE.
