Skule Stage Band
The 23-member, student run, Skule™ Stage Band performs big band jazz to great acclaim at many Skule™ events. These include the most celebrated dances of the year (Cannonball, Gradball, and Moment), as well as Suds, and the EngSci Dinner Dance. The Skule™ Stage Band has even started touring, adding a stop at Grossman's Tavern and Hart House's Arbor Room to its' schedule of shows in recent years. The Skule™ Stage Band 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.
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!
