Delaware's only Semi-Professional Wind Ensemble
Delaware Winds was established to create a semi-professional wind ensemble, comprised of music educators and current college music students from Delaware and surrounding states. The ensemble will provide performances of the finest literature available for wind band, and is intentional in programming works by under-represented voices in the wind band medium. Delaware Winds rehearsals provide a musical outlet, networking and professional development opportunity for current and rising music educators.
