The Colorado Wind Ensemble has made outreach to local school music programs an essential part of our organization from our beginning in 1984. 

CWE members serve as clinicians in area school music programs by providing master classes, leading sectionals, sitting in with student rehearsals and performances, and working side-by-side with students in preparing and presenting concerts. 

We have worked with D'Evelyn Jr/Sr High School, Eaglecrest High School, Cherokee Trail High School, Green Mountain High School, Westminster High School, Addenbrooke Classical Academy, Regis High School, ThunderRidge High School, Mountain Vista High School, as well as the Continental League Honor Band and Denver Public Schools Citywide Bands.

In this, our 43rd year, CWE is focused on continuing to enrich and support school bands, by exposing them to our special version of music for winds, brass and percussion.

We hope that you will join us in this endeavor!
