Amateur Contests Winter/ Spring 2012
Amateur Event 2 - Sat Feb 18-12
Amateur Event 3 - Sat Apr 21-12

The Niagara-Hamilton Branch
is essentially and arm of the larger body known as the PPBSO.
Generally, the Niagara-Hamilton Branch operates in the winter months
when the regular season and contests are not in operation. Throughout
the fall winter and spring months we are proud to run smaller
competitions and have special events that bring entertainment to the
greater Hamilton and Niagara region.
As a continually growing
community we try to better our contests year after year, season after
season. We as a branch are responsible for two very established and
prominent contests in the piping and drumming world. The Agnew-Harrison Drumming Invitational Contest
is historically a Professional grade contest, which is an invitation only event
which brings out some of the best that North American has to offer in drumming
for that current year. This year will include snare, bass and tenor professional contests.
Our William Livingstone Senior Piping Contest
is held every May and is also an invitational contest, which picks from
the best professional pipers from North American. We are very to have
and hold these two prestigious events year after year.
It is the goal of the executive to have great events, but not only twice a season, but rather for the entire season. This year we are holding three amateur events and will have a draw for a special prize, one for a drummer and one for a piper. Click here for more information. This can only be accomplished through the help and support of the membership. Your input is greatly appreciated and will help us better meet the needs and wants of the membership as a whole. Come out to our events held in the James Street Armouries in Hamilton Ontario in the upper level of the building at the Sergeants Mess.
