Calgary Stampede Showband claims 7th world championship title yyc
The Calgary Stampede Showband took first place at the 2023 World Association of Marching Show Bands championship in West Virginia over the weekend — the seventh such achievement for the 140-person ensemble.“We’re like a carnival, fair band at the Calgary Stampede. And then we head out on the road to compete with some of the most serious and focused groups in the world,” said program co-ordinator Josh Malate.
“It’s been a lot of fun with friends, a crazy good experience down in West Virginia — it’s been great,” said Laberge, the band’s drum major.Article content “It’s really cool to be able to relate to people who might not even speak the same language, but you do the same thing — you play music, you march on the field,” said Laberge. “It’s cool to see how they do things differently or how, in some ways, you’re actually more similar than you would think.”The Showband has two more performances south of the border before it comes home to showcase its new hardware.
Laberge said the opportunity to play on the same field as DCI groups — many of which are greatly admired by members of the Showband — is a “dream come true” for some members.
