The '''Saskatoon Concert Band''' is a traditional Canadian civilian based in the city of [[Saskatoon]], in the province of [[Saskatchewan]]. The band comprises of two bands: the concert band and the auxiliary band.
==History==
The Saskatoon Concert Band was founded in 1949 as the 406 Wing Band of the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]]. It would later be renamed as the 23rd Wing Band. During this era, it took part in the Canadian National Exhibition as well as jointly performed with [[Mexican people|Mexican]] solo [[trumpet]]er [[Rafael Méndez]] as a guest artist. 10 years later, it was dissolved to create the Kinsmen Concert Band. In the mid 1960s, a section from the band came back into military service, this time as the [[HMCS Unicorn]] Band in the [[Royal Canadian Navy]]. The band came into its cirrnet form in 1982 as a non-profit organization. The band has also performed at Saskatchewan’s Centennial year celebrations, during which it toured Northern Saskatchewan, as well as performed at events in the [[Saskatchewan Legislature]].<ref>https://ift.tt/2wfr3Be>
==Auxiliary Band==
The Saskatoon Auxiliary Concert Band was formed in 1987 in order to cater to a demographic of musicians who decided to rekindle their musical career. With the band and the concert band being active, the band allows for a range of skill levels to join. It performs at two concerts per year in Saskatoon, contrary to the three regular concerts and one outdoor concert that all occur throughout the year.<ref>https://ift.tt/39bAGzD>
