Alberta Junior Honour Bands

The Alberta Band Association offers a number of different of honour band experiences for students in junior and senior high. 

The Alberta Virtual Band is a new project this year. Created in response to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alberta Band Association is collaborating with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and launching the Alberta Virtual Band. The AVB will provide enthusiastic high school aged musicians with the opportunity to receive small group instrument coachings with a professional from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and ultimately, perform a newly commissioned work alongside the pros in the Alberta Virtual Band. 

The Alberta Junior Honour Bands provide an advanced performance experience for those students who demonstrate excellence in leadership, musicality and engagement in their home junior high band programs. Leading music educators in the province guide the students through three days of fun and intensive rehearsals.  The experience culminates in a concert performance that the students have prepared in rehearsal. This program has been suspended for the 2020-2021 season.

The Alberta Wind Symphony provides outstanding high school band students from across the province the opportunity to work with some of the finest concert band educations recognized both nationally and internationally, grow musically and meet other musically vibrant instrumentalists. This program has been suspended for the 2020-2021 season.

The Alberta Jazz Ensemble is an auditioned ensemble for talented high school aged musicians.  Students will work under the leadership of North America's most outstanding jazz educators and hone their skills in improvisation and jazz styles playing alongside other enthusiastic music students. This program has been suspended for the 2020-2021 season.
