Let's have a look at some pipe bands to start things of.

For example in Calgary there are at least 7 well known Pipe bands and you'll be hard pressed to pick a favorite among them.

There are some really good and active pipe bands such as the University of Calgary band (which has "stood down" for the rest ofthe year while it reorganizes) as well as the Calgary Police Service Pipe band pictured below:

let's not forget the Clan McBain Pipe band

Now let's take a look at some show bands.

The first of the Calgary bands in this category that will come to mind, of course, are the various

Calgary Stampede Show Bands because they are always in the Stampede Parade.

There is a lot more to this than you may first suspect.

Calgary bands are well established and get a great deal of support from the community.

For example we have : A Band of Outriders which is a 40 piece ensemble of Calgary Show Band alumni.

Than we have : The Calgary Stetson Show band winners of 2007 Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Parade Best Band, Auxiliary Competition for Marching Show Bands and other awards as well.

Another component is the

And these are all regular contributors to the music and show band scene in and around Calgary.

These Calgary bands are world renowned and have garnered many accolades and trophies since their inception.

Of course they perform daily during the Calgary Stampede for the more than 1 million visitors that attend every year.

They perform on the Stampede grounds but also throughout the city of Calgary at the daily free pancake breakfasts as well as other special events.

Another favorite is the Bishop Grandin High School's band, named The Bishop Grandin Ghosts Marching Band

This band has no less than 130 members and it is a real treat to see them in action and listen to their repertoire.

The BGMG took the following prizes at the Calgary Stampede: 1) Best Senior Band 2) Best Canadian Band and 3) Best Overall Band

Nice to see todays youth doing so well. Congratulations are in order.

Next among the Calgary bands we find a large number Country bands.

Probably the best known is the Ian Tyson Band
His band is always in demand and is a favorite for corporate affairs.

Others include : Quicksilver, Tremblay Brothers,The Deputies and on and on it goes.
