Recognizing their shared band members and complementary missions, the Calgary Stetson Show Band and the Calgary Round-Up Band embarked on a focused planning and alignment initiative to strengthen governance, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term sustainability.

While remaining separate charitable organizations, the two bands have adopted a shared strategic framework, common KPIs, and coordinated scheduling and communication practices to streamline operations and enhance the overall member experience.

This initiative was supported through Future Focus Funding. The Future Focus Program is a funding collaboration between Calgary Arts Development , the Rozsa Foundation, and the Calgary Foundation . We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, who provided additional funds to support the program in 2026.
