The ASU Wind Ensemble currently has approximately 40 woodwind, brass, and percussion performers. We are always looking to increase our membership to qualified and dedicated players. It is open to those with previous instrumental music experience and chair auditions are held at the beginning of the semester. It is recommended that Wind Ensemble be taken for 1 hour of academic credit (MUSI 1610), however, in circumstance involving class conflicts and inability to attend all rehearsals, performers can participate for no credit.
