What it does — in its own words

Ongoing programs

New programs

With the passing of our group's founder we organized a donation campaign to begin work on commissioning a Canadian composer to write a wind band piece in remembrance of him. A commission consortium was formed and preparations are well underway in commissioning the piece which is expected to be delivered in April of 2025. We also participated in a celebration of life for our founder where both bands played musical pieces chosen by his family. We also supported the formation of a new city choir Medicine Hat Sings by way of administrative assistance.
