Winds Across the Bay is a wind ensemble for musicians at an advanced skill level (nominally 8th-12th grades). It is open to middle and high school students who display a high-intermediate to advanced musical proficiency in any wind, brass or percussion instrument as well as a desire to enhance their ability in the instrumental performing arts.
Winds performs a broad spectrum of classical and contemporary music, much of it adapted from traditional full orchestral arrangements. In recent years, Winds has performed pieces by Bernstein, Mussorgsky, Ellington, Gershwin, Tchaikovsky, Sousa, and many others.
Membership is by audition only. Tuition for the 2008-09 season is $550, which includes a $30 family fee. Included in the tuition is a yearly membership in the group. Each family has voting rights in Winds - one vote per musician in the group. Musicians will each receive 2 complimentary tickets to each of our performances.
Winds is intended to supplement the individual school music programs and is not intended to supercede the music education currently being provided in the schools. Winds works together with school programs to provide young musicians with an additional opportunity to perform quality music in a professional atmosphere.
