Desert Winds Performs

'Pop, Rock, & Swing'

Pop, Rock & Swing had the audience dancing!

Our Pops Concert last May was one of the best ever and included music from Glenn Miller, Adele, Elton John & the Beatles.  Besides the Symphonic Band, the Concert included performances by the Desert Winds New Pop Band, and the Desert Winds Clarinet Buffet.

Post concert the audience and band members joined together for an old-fashioned ice cream social in the lobby.
