THE BAND-ITS
The Band-Its is an independent adult community band organization of about 40 members that is registered as a non-profit organization. It operates both a concert band and a jazz band.
The Band-Its brings the joy of music to the Regina community. We provide the opportunity for young adults to continue their musical interests and for more mature adults to either learn or continue to develop their musical skills in an atmosphere of encouragement and friendship.
The Band-Its have a busy schedule of performances at concerts, churches, malls, and senior citizen's complexes, and at festivals where they consistently receive "superior" ratings. We are supported by the City of Regina Arts Commission, Saskatchewan Lotteries and the Saskatchewan Band Association.
The Band-Its, have a large repertoire and can provide music for any occasion. Share the musical experience with this "show stealing" group.
The Band-Its concert band is directed by Yvonne Redant.
THE JAZZ BAND-ITS
The Jazz Band-Its Is an exciting group of approximately 20 accomplished and experienced musicians. The group performs jazz, swing, and hit tunes with an energetic big band sound. The group can play anything from short engagements to dances, providing great musical variety.
The Jazz Band-Its appear frequently at events such as Jazz on Scarth Street, Saskatchewan Roughriders pre-game parties, Regina Cathedral Village Arts Festival, Jazz in Wascana Park band shell, Regina Jazz Club, Moose Jaw Convention Centre and many other venues.
The Jazz Band-Its perform in the adult jazz category at festivals, where they consistently receive "superior" ratings. They have been invited to National Music-Fest Canada.
