About our group
The Herndon Regional Wind Ensemble offers local musicians a professional environment to assemble and play for their mutual enjoyment, to provide cultural and educational enrichment for the community through public performances, and promote further development of musical skills in students and musicians of all ages!
The ensemble will offer a series of free public concerts throughout the year. The repertoire will include concert band music, military marches, orchestral transcriptions, Broadway melodies, jazz, Dixieland, and popular music.
The Wind Ensemble is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization and relies on volunteers and support from the community. Please visit our Donate page to make an easy donation online.
