About this program
A music education and performance program in which youth aged 16 to 21 rehearse all year and perform through the 10 days of the Stampede. Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings plus one full band-camp weekend a month, with a week of full-day rehearsals right before Stampede. Auditions for the 2026-27 season were June 5 to 7, 2026 on Stampede Park. Members pay an annual fee for uniforms, equipment, instruction and local travel; tours cost extra, and there is fundraising help.
