BLUE RIDGE WINDS
2024-25 Season
Rehearsal and concert information are linked below. We rehearse most Monday nights in the
band room at Hibriten High School. Doors open at 6:30 and rehearsals begin at 7:00 and last
ninety minutes. Anyone, grades six and up with instrumental band experience is welcome. Our
members range from age 13 to 80. We do prefer that all middle school students be accompanied
by an adult who plays in the band as well. No auditions. All you need to do is show up with your
instrument at Hibriten H.S. Making Great music with Great people. There is no cost to
participate in this group. For contact information and our schedule click on the link provided above.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
