Tomorrow night - TUESDAY, MARCH 19You are invited to attend our upcoming concert featuring the Erie County Wind Ensemble! This is a special event celebrating their 40th anniversary. It is an honor for Starpoint to be their host! The ECWE was originally founded as the “Erie County Music Educators Wind Ensemble” in 1983. The ensemble has evolved into a mixed group of fine musicians of various occupational backgrounds from the WNY area. Described as a “virtuosic and resilient group”, the ECWE’s objective is to perform the best wind band literature at an exemplary level to a wide range of audiences, with a special outreach to school musicians. The concert will kickoff with performances by the Starpoint HS Concert Band and HS Wind Ensemble. The bulk of the program will be performed by the ECWE, followed by a side-by-side grand finale with HS Wind Ensemble students. The program is full of beautiful and powerful wind band music. Expect an electrifying performance that will inspire our students! See less
