SBA Graduating Band Student Memorial Scholarship

The Saskatchewan Band Association is pleased to award annual scholarships of $300.00 each to graduating Grade 12 band students across Saskatchewan in memory of Bev Shore.

Beverley Ann Shore was born on April 1, 1960 in Regina, Saskatchewan. She received her elementary, high school and university education in Regina, graduating in 1985 with a Bachelor of Music Education Degree. She taught in Watrous, Deloraine, Manitoba and Yorkton. Beverley’s devotion to her students was second to none.

Beverley was very active in the Saskatchewan Band Community. She was an SBA Board Member and worked at several SBA Band Camps for over 20 years, always enjoying the opportunity to work with the students and staff. Beverley was also a valuable contributor to the local music festival scene and at the time of her death was President of the Yorkton Music Festival.
