The band has begun rehearsals, preparing for our first concert of the season.
“Music of the Great American West” highlights The Arizona Winds’ concert season opener on Sunday, October 27th, 2019. The band will chronicle “How the West Was Won”, concurring America’s frontier from the wild and wooly mining camps, to the rampages of the Civil War, to the many cowboys riding the range and driving herds westward, and from the Alamo to the oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas, and the majestic beauty of the Grand Canyon to the iconic Mount Rushmore. The band’s Music Director and Conductor, Rich Shelton, has put together another stirring video production to accompany this exciting program of music for a stunning aural and visual experience.
