A Message from the Hosts:
Welcome to Music 'n Motion! On behalf of the CMSBA Board, I extend a warm greeting as we kick off the inaugural field show event of 2025. It's always exhilarating to witness the dedication and tireless effort poured into every note and step by our talented musicians, colour guard, and dancers in anticipation of the field show season. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of the marching arts and your cherished friends and family performing on the field. May you delight in the spectacle that awaits!

Calgary Stampede Showband 2025 Field Show
The Stampede Showband proudly presents “If We Build It…”, a powerful exploration of assembly, collaboration, and transformation. This show is a tribute to the work of many hands and the vision of bold minds. It begins in the weighty pulse of steel and brick, where repetition, rhythm, and industry lay the foundation. From these grounded origins emerges the voice of the individual—creative, unrestrained, interpretive—adding personality, motion, and soul to structure. Through evocative melody and dynamic staging, we journey from the grit of worksite to the brilliance of glass and steel, revealing how beauty is forged not only in materials, but in the people who employ them . If We Build It… is a metaphor for how we, as individuals and as a collective, construct something greater together.
