Wind ensemble
A wind ensemble, also known as a concert band or wind band, is a musical group consisting mainly of wind and brass instruments like flutes, clarinets, trumpets, and trombones, often complemented by percussion. Unlike orchestras, which include string instruments, wind ensembles focus on wind instruments and percussion, creating a rich, balanced sound. They perform a wide variety of music, from classical arrangements to contemporary compositions, often showcasing the technical skill of their members. Wind ensembles are common in schools, communities, and professional settings, serving as a platform for musical collaboration and performance.
