Old Friends

There have been many, talented musicians who have been involved with Solstice over the years. In the beginning, our vocalists came from Saskatoon, but as our following grew, we began to find people from all over the province who wanted to sing with us. Unfortunately, no master list was kept, so the following will (hopefully) be constantly updated. Please accept our apologies for errors and omissions; we would be happy to make any corrections!
