Wind Ensemble
Dr. Jeff Jordan, Director
The FHSU Wind Ensemble is the University's
premiere concert band, consisting of the campus' outstanding
brass, woodwind and percussion players.
Members are selected by auditions and regularly
perform four concerts per year.
The Ensemble's repertoire includes the best
of traditional and contemporary literature composed for the
modern wind band and features frequent solo appearances by
outstanding faculty members.
Recent highlights include a 2005 appearance
at the Kansas Music Educators Association Convention in Wichita
and the world premiere of composer Timothy Crowley's Winter
Light, commissioned by the ensemble. The band was
invited to perform at the 2008 KMEA convention and can
also be heard on the newest promotional recordings from TRN
Music Publishers.
