Who Are We?

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.
