Harper College will be closed Wednesday, November 27 through Sunday, December 1 for Thanksgiving Break.
The Wind Symphony is a wind and percussion ensemble of 30 to 70 players that is open to students (regardless of major), faculty, staff, and community members. The group's flexible instrumentation allows for performing a variety of music written for wind ensemble, symphonic or concert band, and chamber winds.
Rehearsals are every Thursday during fall and spring semesters, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., with two to four performances a year. The group sometimes tours.
Auditions for ensembles will happen on the first day of class, and are intended to help with part placement.

3. At the discretion of the conductor, sight reading excerpts from the upcoming season's repertoire.
