West Michigan Concert WINDS Bylaws

New Members are Always Welcome

If you play a band instrument, we would love to hear from you!  The WINDS is a valuable resource for those that play a wind or percussion instrument and are looking for an outlet for their skills

The West Michigan Concert WINDS seats approximately 80 players during our formal season that runs from September through the middle of May.  We may limit our roster to maintain musical balance.

We sometimes need help in the various sections.  Please contact Gail Brechting at 616-847-8800 or visit the Muskegon Community College band room on Thursday evening between 6:00 and 9:30 p.m.

Membership Fees

A membership fee for musicians of $50 for the 2007-08 year is due Sept. 30, 2007.  Alternate methods of fund-raising and donations are available in lieu of the fee.  College students taking band for college credit are exempt from the fee
