Alabama Winds

Alabama Winds, an all-adult community wind band based in Alabaster, Alabama, was organized in the summer of 2013 and is comprised primarily of practicing music educators residing throughout the state of Alabama. Members travel from as far as Huntsville, Auburn, and Enterprise to rehearsals, which are held in Birmingham, Alabama. The normal rehearsal schedule for the ensemble is one three-hour rehearsal each month, performing concerts annually in December and May. Additional rehearsals for special performances are scheduled on an “as needed” basis.

​

The mission of the Alabama Winds is to foster and promote the appreciation of high-quality wind band music through performances of artistic merit for our audience, the residents of the state of Alabama and the members of the ensemble. The Alabama Winds has provided scholarships for middle school and high school students to attend summer music camps and provides a one-time $1,000.00 scholarship to a graduating high school senior who will be pursuing a career in music education.
