USAF Academy’s ‘Winds’ Group to Perform

The “Academy Winds”

The “Academy Winds” will perform at the library on Thursday, April 20 at 7 p.m.
This concert is free and open to the public. For planning purposes, tickets will be available at the library’s Research and Information Desk up to the day before the performance.
Academy Winds, a six-member woodwind and percussion group, supports the Air Force Academy Band’s missions of community relations, educational outreach, and Air Force recruiting. The members of Academy Winds have studied at some of the most prestigious universities and music conservatories in the country.
Group members utilize their experience to perform public concerts and to offer outreach to high school and college students through clinics and master classes.
The United States Air Force Academy Band, under the command of Lt Col. Daniel L. Price, is composed of 60 active-duty Air Force professionals and includes nine performing ensembles. For more than 60 years, the academy band has used the power of music to honor our nation’s heroes, inspire Air Force personnel and the nation they serve, produce innovative musical programs and products, and communicate Air Force excellence to millions around the world.
All Air Force Academy Band performances are presented on behalf of Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson, Superintendent, United States Air Force Academy. This performance is co-sponsored by the Coeur d’Alene Press.
