DFOB 2026: Droste Shield Competition

​​Since 2017, Dublin Festival of Brass's Droste Shield Competition has welcomed brass bands from all over the United States and Canada. This annual event features highly-respected guest adjudicators as well as social opportunities for visiting groups to mingle and make music together outside of the competition setting.

In recent years, DFOB has added new performance categories, giving participating bands a wider variety of music to perform and enjoy!
