Fall Happenings with the Seacoast Wind Ensemble!

The Seacoast Wind Ensemble (SWE) commenced its fall season this past week with rehearsals at Exeter High School again. We have a busy fall lined up and hope to see you at some of the events!

• The 2014-2015 season marks 30 years for SWE! Help us celebrate by attending one of our concerts and our fundraiser at the Portsmouth Flatbreads in November.
• SWE will perform in the 4th Annual Festival of New Hampshire Bands in New London on Saturday, October 18, 2014. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear community bands throughout the New Hampshire region; SWE will be the last group to perform before the “massed bands.” For more information, click here.
• SWE will hold a fundraiser at Flatbread Pizza in Portsmouth on Tuesday evening, November 11, 2014 -- Veteran’s Day. A portion of the evening’s pizza sales will go to support SWE’s activities and our scholarship program. We will also be holding a raffle onsite throughout the evening. We would love to see you there! Please watch for more notifications about this event.
• Our annual holiday concerts will be held in mid- to late-December. We will announce the dates through this email notification list and through press releases.
• Finally, SWE was saddened to learn of the recent loss of its former music conductor and director, Paul Erwin. The 2014-2015 concert season will include one piece that is played in memory of Paul (including some of his compositions) at each concert.
