After 70 years of music making, due to the Covid 19 virus, our 2020 festival was cancelled. Groups that had registered and were preparing for a great week in Moose Jaw were guaranteed slots in the 2021 festival. Clinicians and night shows were rebooked. We missed the music in person but the students kept playing.

With the virus still dictating changes in music programs and travel practices, there was to be no festival for the next two years. However, students and directors alike were excited to hear that 2023 was a go!
