Established in 1983, the Saskatchewan Band Association is a registered charity dedicated to the development and promotion of Band music throughout the province. We are open to any individual, group or organization interested in furthering the development of bands in Saskatchewan.
The Association represents community bands, school bands, the Saskatchewan Pipe Band Association, band directors, music educators, band parent associations, students, and education institutions.
Membership in the SBA demonstrates your support of band and the value it adds to the cultural fabric of our communities. Together we present a strong, collective voice, both provincially and nationally, on issues affecting Saskatchewan bands and the Saskatchewan community.

Do you have a stellar student who demonstrates leadership, excellent musicianship, a great work ethic, and could benefit from attending an SBA Band Camp?
Nominate them for a Band Camp Scholarship Award. These are merit recognition awards, intended to recognize outstanding young musicians for their contributions to their band.
Important details:
SBA awards a limited number of Band Camp Scholarships each year.
Each scholarship is worth $100 towards attendance at any of our 5 SBA Band Camps in 2023.
Award recipients will be determined by the SBA no later than the last week of May.
Band directors of award recipients will be sent a Band Camp Scholarship certificate hopefully in time to present the award winner(s) at a year end band concert or another suitable opportunity.
You, or your school, or Band Parent Association, must be a current SBA member to nominate students.
Nomination deadline: Sunday, May 21, 2023 at 11:59pm.
