Dundee & Angus Boys Brigade Battalion held its annual solo and bands competition on Saturday 18th April 2026.

Well done to all that competed in the competition and also to all the prize winners. It was great to hear so many great performances and see all the members gain invaluable experience along the way.

We would like to thank our judges for the competition - Bryan Sinclair, Martin Sinclair and Catriona Gaul
