The Regina Band Camp kept the momentum going in our outstanding 2024 season! We welcomed amazing participants from the Regina area for a fantastic week filled with learning and music-making alongside our exceptional instructors. Over the week, participants had the opportunity to engage in full band sessions, small ensembles, sectionals, theory classes, and private lessons! |

Our faculty put on recitals every day and they were a sight and sound to behold. Almost all of the faculty showed off in solos, duets, trios, and ensemble performances! We had Saxophone, Clarinet, and Brass Faculty Ensembles!

The week ended with final concerts on Aug 2nd. The Ensemble Concerts took place in the morning, and the Full Band Concerts in the afternoon. Both concerts showcased the students’ progress over the week under the direction of their ensemble teachers and Full Band Directors, Katlyn Redding and Reed Wishnevetski. The “C” Band, under the direction of Katlyn Redding, performed Dark Beginnings, Donut Factory, The Water is Wide and more. This band consisted of mainly grade 6-8 players!
The "B" Band, under the direction of Reed Wishnevetski, he led our intermediate level band participants to perform Blue Ridge Reel, Smurds Marching Song, Tripwire and more!  The "A" Band in which Katlyn Redding also directed, mainly consisted of our advanced participants. This group had an impressive collective sound, producing a heartwarming and emotional performance of Matters of Kindness and Affirmation (Peace, Love and Music). This band also performed great technical pieces such as Standridge Danse Carnivale, Snarl and Trombone King.
The SBA hopes these incredible musical leaders will continue these practices in their own bands down the line! Congratulations Tessa Widger, Sadie Klym, Brooke Lucas, Eric Omeje, Camron Deans, Evan Milos.

"The other people in band were super funny." "I loved meeting new people and making new friends but most of all I loved the instructors, they helped me improve mentally and physically with my playing." "The best Musical thing I learned was how to sight read because at my home band they taught us to just write the note names above the note." "Everyone was kind and patient!" "The best part of band camp was making a bunch of friends." |
