Read What People Are Saying!

"Have never missed a performance. This (Christmas concert), by all means surpassed all".

 

"Great job", "Great selection", Great Performances!"

 

"What a wonderful concert I attended last Sunday afternoon (May 11, 2014) as the The Gorge Winds sponsored their annual Spring Concert at the Civic Auditorium. The Dalles is so fortunate to have such a wonderful asset in our community..."

 

"I really enjoyed the selections of music that the band played today. It was a wonderful concert. It was interesting to have such a variety, and I liked the pieces you played, especially the Leroy Anderson piece with the trumpets. And I most especially felt charmed by your unannounced encore. It was delightful to be surprised! And by a piece of music that is so pleasing and familiar! It was like a fabulous present!"
