A new community band is now meeting for the first time on Elon's campus.
The Phoenix Winds met Tuesday night in the Center for the Arts for its first rehearsal with 90 members present. The new band is comprised of Elon University students, alumni and staff, as well as local community members. The community membership is varied, including all age groups from high school to retired local musicians, with some members coming from as far as Greensboro and Chapel Hill to play with the band each week. The band meets every Tuesday night from 7:00-9:00pm on campus and will hold its first concert on May 14th, 2013 at 7:30pm in McCrary Theater at Elon. The band will also meet during fall semester at the same day and time and will hold a concert in November (11/26).
Please join the band at its inaugural concert on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 7:30pm in McCrary Theater. Admission is free.
