Cobb Wind Symphony

Black History in the making. Flashback to our preparation for The Midwest Clinic in 2018. We'll remember rehearsing with Omar Thomas and performing his "Of Our New Day Begun" forever.

To Celebrate Black History Month, The Cobb Wind Symphony is rereleasing this video from our 2018 Midwest performance with text provided by The Stanford University Martin Luther King Jr. Education and Research Institute

When two CWS members get married the vows are held in a very nice folder. Congratulations to Darby Stanton and Fred Norton.

Thinking of the Cobb Wind Symphony tonight as we would have just completed our first concert of the year, our annual Veteran's Day Concert. Please check out the... promo from one of our previous Vet's Concerts. Thanks to tuba player (and Lassiter grad) Dave Dawson for his excellent videography and editing. The piece is "A New Birth of Freedom" by Randol Bass. Enjoy. See more

Happy Veterans Day! We miss you all.
