TCMF Wraps Up
The Texas Community Music Festival was bigger than ever and a major success! Thanks to all who came out.
July 4
We are preparing patriotic music for a series of concerts around Independence Day. Wednesday July 4th we will be at the Millwood Picnic in the morning and at the Pflugerville fireworks in the evening. More details to come. As a prelude we will be playing Tuesday July 3rd at Covenant United Methodist Church at 7:30PM.
Thank You IBM!
We have recently received a generous grant from IBM. This will allow us to buy much needed percussion equipment and additional music, among other things.
Watch a very cool video about community bands.
Join ACWE! We are always accepting new members. More Info
Best Excuse to Be a Band Geek Again--Austin Chronicle
Austin Civic Wind Ensemble
One time, at band camp, we heard about this great group of musicians in A-town: As Austin's oldest community band, the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble (ACWE) has been charming Central Texas audiences since 1975. Besides treating our town to the best in-concert band performances, this ensemble also provides an outlet for Austin area musicians, amateur and professional, to get out there and play. So, whether you are looking to rekindle fond memories of your band-geek glory days or you wish to simply revel in that sound that takes you to another time and place, check them out. Their Web site is loaded with information on how to get involved. (Best of Austin 2006 issue)
