Hello everyone!

This summer the Wind Ensemble had the pleasure of touring China, on our first international tour! Check out some of the trips highlights in the photos on the right side of the screen! We were extremely lucky to have the chance to perform in such a beautiful country, and we all have made memories that are sure to last for years to come.

It is with a heavy heart that after this China tour we said goodbye to our beloved director, Dr. Paul Bhasin. However, it is our pleasure to announce our new director for this year, Dr. Richard Marcus! Check out more about Dr. Marcus under the “People” tab. We look forward to having him with us this year, and can’t wait for you to meet him.

Finally, in terms of audition material, please keep checking the website! As soon as we have the pieces they will be up, in addition to the available days to audition.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading!
