You are missed. Each and every one of you. You are the Dallas Winds Family. You and our musicians – coming together for the shared experience of live performances – are the very heart and soul of our mission. For the moment, we can’t see your smiling faces or hear your applause, and that’s heartbreaking. We look forward to the day we’ll all be together again!

The Dallas Winds has performed patriotic concerts every Independence Day since 1986. This year will be the exception, but you can still celebrate America’s 244th birthday with us by listening to WRR FM 101.1 at 7:00 pm on Saturday, July 4th for a special two-hour concert featuring highlights from prior Star-Spangled Spectacular concerts. Tune in at WRR FM 101.1 or listen online at wrr101.com.

Throughout the summer you can see and hear the band on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter where we’re posting selections from recordings and performances weekly. You can enjoy Dallas Winds concerts broadcast & streamed on WRR FM 101.1 during its Monday Night at the Symphony programs at 8 pm on June 29, July 13 & 27 and August 10 & 24.

Our staff (including Mr. Widget, our office cat) is sheltering in place, fully engaged in the creation of virtual content for students and band fans everywhere. We’re also busy planning the Dallas Winds 35th Anniversary Season opening Friday, October 23rd with the Canadian Brass. By the way, it’s going to be a wonderful season!

Performing arts organizations around the world are being deeply impacted by the global pandemic, as is the Dallas Winds. Lost ticket sales due to postponed concerts coupled with the cancellation of our planned April fundraising gala, have put the band in a challenging financial position. Your contribution in any amount will help mitigate these combined losses and support necessary ongoing costs. Your gift today ensures the Dallas Winds’ timely return to the concert stage to continue fulfilling its mission of Bringing Joy to People Through Band Music.

Thank You. And take care of yourselves out there!
Kim Campbell
Founder/Executive Director
