Mae Wilson Theater
217 Main St. N
NOTE: Change in bus drop off.
Reserved drop off parking is on Main St. in front of the theatre, HOWEVER, park only in front of the hooded meters. The rest of the block is reserved for city transit and you risk a heavy fine if you opt to park there, even for a few minutes.
Students are asked to enter via the front doors on Main St. Volunteers will direct you to the warm up room downstairs.
Change from years past - Please DO NOT enter via the back door.
Note: This is for drop off only. Busses are asked to move as soon as students are dropped off, as there will be another bus right behind you.
🚍 Important Info for Busses 🚍
Long term bus parking during the festival must be away from Main St. The bus cannot remain at the drop-off points. Spots are usually available East of Main St. fairly close to the venues. After all, this is Moose Jaw. All distances are fairly close and walkable.
*** Please watch for signs indicating entrance doors ***
The Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival is honoured to be able to remember music educators who have passed, but not before leaving a legacy of making a difference in music education in the province.
Although not a music educator, Sharon Penner spent numerous years volunteering with a number of community organizations in addition to serving as Executive Director of the National Music Festival of Canada for 10 years.
The Moose Jaw Music Festival and the Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival were especially close to her heart. For decades Sharon was the friendly voice on the end of the phone helping to organize the schedule, night shows, and clinicians. All this was done prior to, and leading up to, the IT changeover to emails and websites. Even after officially stepping back from the festival committee, she remained a valuable resource for years as committee members gradually became comfortable in their new positions.
Sharon was recognized for her many years of community service in 2010 when she was chosen as Moose Jaw’s Citizen of the Year.
