Time for a bit of history for the Band Supplies — 4barsrest World Rankings as the number one spot is occupied by a non-UK band for the first time ever.
Brass Band Treize Etoiles' outstanding victory at the British Open Championships propels the Swiss Champion to the top of the world following a remarkable few years of success that also includes two consecutive European Championship victories, and counting!

West of Scotland Entertainment — won by Dalmellington
Dr. Martin Wainstones Cup — won by GUS Band
Swiss Open — won by Valaisia Brass Band
Fife Charities — won by Kingdom Brass
Red Admiral Entertainment Contest — won by Hepworth
There was success too for Northop, St. Austell, Golborne and Betteshanger at the National Finals at Cheltenham, while the top section bands will get their chance to add to their points totals at the Royal Albert Hall this weekend as the battle for the end-of-year number one spot heats up!
