Congratulations to Barrie Redford on receiving the 2025 Saskatchewan Band Association’s Distinguished Band Director Award!

Nearly 40 years ago, while a music teacher with the former Sask Valley School Division, Barrie was a key contributor to establishing a student band program in the 5 communities of Hepburn, Laird, Waldheim, Rosthern, and Duck Lake. He organised a band parent’s association and helped form a beginner band, combining it with a community adult band. All of this work formed the Warman Community Band, a group Barrie still actively volunteers for and that is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year! The Warman Community Band will be celebrating with a major concert in November. Barrie's visionary leadership and unwavering commitment have shaped generations of musicians and enriched the cultural fabric of our Band community. Barrie's commitment to band since 1986 has been indispensable to bands in the many different communities he has worked in!

Congratulations to the Moose Jaw Band & Choral Festival for winning the Band Builder award from the Canadian Band Association!
