Battle of the Bands 2026, what a show!
One of the closest Battle of the Bands contests in recent memory saw just one point separate first and second, with only 0.11 points between second and third.
After an afternoon of outstanding performances, Farrell House claimed the title with High Hopes. MacDermott House finished second with Let Me Entertain You, while Hawkes House took third with Rein Me In.
Congratulations to this year’s Excellence Award recipients:
Nathan (MAC) – Percussion
Harrison (FRR) – Guitar
Oscar (FRR) – Vocals
Nicholas (DAC) – Bass Guitar
Orlando (HWD) – Drums
A special mention also to the Prefect Band, Rock Band Blue, Rock Band Red and the Chinese Band, who added even more variety and energy to the afternoon.
Congratulations to all performers for another memorable afternoon of musicianship, House spirit and entertainment.
Brad Turner
Director of Music
