Saskatchewan Honour Music Groups will be making history by delivering their first-ever virtual program in 2020.

Students auditioned in May for a position in the honour band, choir or orchestra. Four students from the Estevan Comprehensive School were selected: Garrett Schwab, Curtis Phillipchuk, Emily Frostad and Ashley Frostad.

This will be the second year in the honour band for Schwab, Phillipchuk and Emily Frostad, while Ashley Frostad is in her first year.

The Frostads have since moved to Regina with their families.

Guest conductors have met online in advance of the concert and sessions were provided for the musicians. The students played their parts online, and then a technician put it together.

The virtual Honour Groups concert will be Nov. 7 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. through the Saskatchewan Music Educators Association’s YouTube page.
