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.

Cuts to Regina Public School's Elementary Band staffing have been in the media and on social networks for the past few weeks. Interested parents and area music parent associations are working collaboratively to address these concerning changes. The SBA is providing support to this Regina Public Band Parent Leadership group. SBA members and supporters who wish to know more about the group and how you can help are welcome to reach out to the SBA at info@saskband.org.

Looking for a great summer activity for your band student?
SBA offers 4 Band Camps each summer. Each camp, held over one week for grade 6-12 band students, provides participants with the opportunity to receive instruction from distinguished guest conductors. In addition to full band ensemble rehearsals, participants benefit from private lessons, sectionals, and small group sessions focused on their individual instruments.
Did you know... One week of band camp offers the equivalent of three months worth of school band instruction.
Beyond the academic elements, participants will enjoy time for recreational activities, including organized games and opportunities to socialize with fellow developing musicians.
The Saskatchewan Band Association can help connect out-of-town families with local band families for billeting opportunities in the host city. If you're interested in hosting a camper or being hosted, contact programs@saskband.org or events@saskband.org to learn more.
Calling all past Saskatoon Band Camp Participants & Staff - reconnect & join us for an opportunity to help celebrate the Saskatoon Band Camp's 40th anniversary!
From August 10th to 14th, the University of Saskatchewan's Education Building will be abuzz with more than just the normal sounds of Band Camp. Our Alumni Band will add to the week with short evening rehearsals, sectionals and a special Celebration concert on Thursday August 14th at 6:30pm.
We know summer is busy - we have tried to make it as easy as possible to participate. We hope you can join us!
The SBA, in partnership with the University of Regina, brings Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser to Saskatchewan!
Dr. Tim will offer sessions specifically designed for selected band student leaders, band teachers and band parents. The special event will also include additional development & networking opportunities.
More information will be provided at the start of the new School year.
Band Teachers will be invited to nominate grade 10 – 12 band students/section leaders for this special developmental opportunity. Spaces will be limited to ensure participation from across Saskatchewan.
Saturday October 18, 2025 9:30am – 4:00pm
Dr. Tim is a well-known name in the music education world as a teacher, clinician, author, composer, consultant, adjudicator, and, above all, a trusted friend to anyone interested in working with young people in developing a desire for excellence. With years of experience working directly with students and directors in leadership and motivational training, he created Attitude Concepts for Today, an organization focused on the area of positive attitude and effective leadership training.
The SBA is grateful to the University of Regina’s Media Art & Performance Department for its support & assistance with this special session and to our other sponsors helping to make this possible.
