Skule Stage Band

The 23-member, student run, Skule™ Stage Band (SSB) performs big band jazz to great acclaim at many Skule™ events. These include the most celebrated dances of the year (Cannonball and Gradball), as well as Suds, the EngSci Dinner Dance, and the Skule Music Concert. The SSB has even started touring, forming the Engineering Jazz Exchange with the University of Waterloo Engineering Jazz Band. The SSB was established in 1983 by engineering students with help from Mr. Malcolm McGrath of the Skule Alumni Association. It has since blossomed into over 25 years of talented alumni. With enough interest in 2007 to start a brand new band (Stage Band Blue), the bands promote post-secondary interest in musical hobbies for engineering students.

The Skule™ Stage Band plays a wide variety of tunes including swing, latin, ballads and funk. These songs include both crowd-pleasers and technically challenging tunes, from Count Basie's charts to intense Animé themes like Tank!
