North Central Texas Winds
On and off since moving back to Dallas, I've been playing with the North Central Texas Winds. Dallas is a wild place for concert bands: there are twenty-two listed community groups in the DFW area! A wild number, even for a large metroplex!
The group is pretty unique. Hosted by a community college, there are a handful of students. But the band is largely area music teachers, making for a very high level of musicianship for a community ensemble.
It's been a wonderful experience making music with these fine folks! I'll miss these fun Monday night rehearsals.
I'll share below a highlight from our last concert for the season: Alfred Reed's El Camino Real
Many thanks to our conductor, Thomas Singletary. A sincere artist, sensitive musician, and passionate bandleader!
