The
Prevailing Winds Symphonic Band is comprised of performers from
throughout the Shreveport/Bossier City area.
This unique
organization is composed of professional and non-professional musicians
who volunteer their time and talent simply to the enjoyment of music. The
group is supported by grants from various local, state, and national arts
organizations, and by private donations. The ensemble provides life-long
musicians the opportunity to continue their involvement in the performing
arts and furthers aesthetic development, increased intellectual
understanding of music and performance, and spirituality in making music.
'Membership is open to adults and high school students who play an
instrument suitable for a concert band. No auditions are required. The
band offers free public concerts throughout the year. The repertoire
includes concert band music, military marches, operatic and orchestral
transcriptions, Broadway melodies, jazz, and popular and rock tunes.
