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!"

The Gorge Winds Concert Band is excited to announce that we will be starting rehearsals on October 7th at 7pm!

Both the church and the band will have Covid requirements for returning and new band members - bring your vaccination card, enter in main foyer and vaccination cards WILL BE checked. At this time only vaccinated musicians will be allowed entry into rehearsals. Bring your music stand and stand light (if you have one). Musical masks (for your instrument) are highly recommended. Entrance to and from rehearsals inside building will require masks to be worn.

An upcoming email with more details will be sent to returning members from our band conductor soon. Please be gracious as we all adjust to our new reality of living in a Covid world.
