Another Great Success: Junior & Intermediate Honour Bands - South 

The SBA was pleased to offer the Junior & Intermediate Honour Bands on March 2 & 3, 2018 at Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School in Regina.  Teachers from around southern Saskatchewan were extremely supportive in recommending students for this annual event.

Under the leadership of Mr. Nick Fanner (Intermediate Group) and Mr. Aaron Sikora (Junior Group) the day and a half event was very well received. The new music that both directors selected was challenging and rewarding.

Thank you to Chad Huel and the wonderful staff at the Leboldus for opening up their school.

 The final concert on Saturday night, to a packed audience, was proof that kids from all across Southern Saskatchewan love to come together for a chance to play with an excellent band.

We look forward to next year already as the Saskatchewan Band Association is proud to support such a beneficial event.
