wind band
Woodwind and brass
A wind band is a musical ensemble consisting entirely of wind and percussion instruments—no strings.
The term covers concert bands, military bands, and marching bands.
Wind bands typically include brass instruments like trumpets and trombones alongside woodwinds like clarinets and flutes: The wind band performed Sousa marches at the Fourth of July celebration.
