wind orchestra
Woodwinds and brass
A wind orchestra is an ensemble of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments—essentially a symphony orchestra without the string section.
Also called a concert band or symphonic band, these groups perform in schools, communities, and professional settings.
The repertoire includes marches, transcriptions of orchestral works, and pieces composed specifically for winds.
