Welcome to SAML’s 2026 Season.

This year, we step boldly into a season defined by empowerment. The 2026 season raises the bar with a higher competitive standard designed to challenge, refine, and elevate every student who steps onto the field and onto the podium. With new contest locations and expanded opportunities to perform, grow, and lead, SAML continues its commitment to developing confident, prepared, and empowered musical leaders. Whether you are returning to build on your legacy or joining us for the first time, this season is your invitation to rise, embrace excellence, strengthen your craft, and discover what you are truly capable of. We can’t wait to see you lead.
