The LA Winds' full title tells you where we rehearse an perform -- Los Angeles Pierce College.  Pierce is a two-year college and is part of the Los Angeles Community College District.  The district is comprised of nine colleges, covers 882 square miles, and is the largest community college district in the United States.

 

We are a "wind ensemble" made up of woodwind, brass, and percussion players.  (Some synonymous terms include "concert band" and "wind orchestra".)  Our music runs the full range from classical music to modern, including marches, and light popular music.  While we often play march music, we perform in a concert setting.

 

The band's website, www.lawinds.org, has more information about the band as well as audio and video clips!
