In The News

The band community is talking about, and concerned by, recent communications from the Regina Public School Divisions on proposed changes to the band program starting in the 2026-27 school year. The RPS Band Parent Leadership Team is reviewing the recently released information and actively seeking further clarification on details of the proposed plan.

The SBA encourages those interested in showing their support for the band programs to support the work of the RPS Band Parent Leadership Team. These volunteers appreciate the support of the band community and encourage all voices to come together with a common focus and purpose.

Band supporters and concerned stakeholders are asked to join our contact list if interested in being directly informed as the situation progresses.
