Bay Winds Band

The Bay Winds Band is a community-focused wind band, based in Annapolis, MD.  Our Mission serves a dual purpose.  The first is to bring live concert band music to community venues of all shapes and sizes, from park settings over Summer to retirement facilities for our community’s less-mobile seniors.  The second is to provide playing opportunities and challenges for a broad collection of musicians in our community.  We do not require auditions and strive to involve those with the desire to share their instrumental talent through performance.  Our musicians represent all walks of life, from High School or Home Schooled students, past Military musicians, all the way up to nonagenarians who have played with the band for decades.

About this Organization

The band was established in October, 1980, and currently numbers between 50-60 musicians. We have all levels of musical experience and range in age from teenagers to senior citizens. Our repertoire includes a mixture of marches, classical transcriptions, music from theater and motion pictures, big band jazz, Dixieland jazz and challenging contemporary music.
