The Catawba River Winds is excited to announce our next season of rehearsal and concert cycles for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025! Once again, Nation Ford High School has graciously allowed us to rehearse and perform in their facility. We are incredibly thankful to the district and school-level administration and band directors Ray Linkous and Andrew Krieger for their hospitality and support of our organization.
Please review our rehearsal and concert dates below, then use the intent form to provide the feedback we need to staff the band for this season. Back by popular demand, we will again host an Honor Band Clinic for middle school students prior to our performance in December. Please note that our concert in May is on Memorial Day… and yes, we will be pulling out all of the stops to bring honor, dignity, and remembrance to this important American holiday!
For those able to participate in the whole or part of the upcoming season, a response is requested by September 2, 2024. We do not hold auditions for the band; however, due to its popularity/interest, it is necessary to cap participants at specified thresholds for instrumentation purposes. Please respond using the form ASAP, and Connie or I will be in touch to confirm your position in the ensemble for 2024-25.
I hope you can join us for another round of wonderful music-making with friends this year! Please reach out to us if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Ryan W. Tinker
CRW Co-Conductor/Co-Founder
