Upcoming Events
Support
The Association supports students participating in Ohpaho band programs, including Senior Band, Junior Band, Jazz Band, Choir, Guitar Band, and other music ensembles as opportunities and resources allow.
Through fundraising, volunteer efforts, and community partnerships, out goal is to provide opportunities that enhance the student experience, including workshops, clinics, band camps, festivals, uniforms, and other program needs.
Workshops & Camps
Some of the most impactful moments in a student's musical journey happen outside of the classroom. Through workshops, clinics, and band camps, students have the opportunity to learn from experienced musicians, explore new ideas, and spend dedicated time making music with their peers. These experiences help foster confidence, connection, and a deeper engagement with music while creating memories that can last long after graduation.
Clinicians
Guest clinicians provide students with opportunities to learn from experienced musicians and educators who bring specialized expertise to the classroom. Through clinics, sectionals, and workshops, students receive additional guidance and mentorship that complements their regular instruction. These experiences help keep students engaged, motivated, and inspired while strengthening the overall quality of our music programs.
Events
Our events celebrate the hard work and achievements of our student musicians while creating opportunities for families, friends, and community members to connect through music. From concerts and performances to fundraisers and special events, these gatherings help build a strong and supportive band community. They provide students with opportunities to showcase their talents, gain valuable performance experience, and create memories that will stay with them long after their school years. Through these events, we not only support our music programs but also foster a shared sense of pride, belonging, and appreciation for the arts.
We acknowledge that we gather on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux peoples. We honour the histories, cultures, and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples to our communities.
As we celebrate music and the arts, we recognize the importance of song, storytelling, and cultural expression in preserving knowledge, building community, and sharing traditions across generations. We are grateful to learn, perform, and create on these lands.
