Queen Elizabeth Fine Arts Showcase
Location: Queen Elizabeth Senior High School
On December 12, QEHS hosted our annual Knight’s Night Fine Arts Showcase which is an event to highlight all the artistic talents and abilities of students who are involved in any Fine Arts and CTS courses through first semester. This was a wonderful night filled with visual art, dramatic performances, culinary arts, and of course the band program.
Students in the Queen Elizabeth Band can look forward to the following events throughout the year:
Concerts: Students participate in a Winter and Spring Concert to showcase their accomplishments
Band Trips: Each band group is taken on a trip that allows them to work with clinicians and develop their skills. These events come at an additional cost but can be offset with fundraising credits.
Alberta International Band Festival: Students in all bands typically perform in the AIBF each year in February/March. The costs for the AIBF are paid for by the QEBPA.
Does my child need to bring their instrument to off-site performances?
Yes, it is the band student's responsibility to bring their instruments with them.
Queen Elizabeth band program is getting uniforms! The students are very excited, as uniforms create a sense of community, pride in their team and a sharp cohesive look for performances. Formal uniforms are expected to be ready for the beginning of the 2025-26 school year.
