 Concert band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wind band, also called concert band, symphonic band, wind orchestra, or wind ensemble, is a performing ensemble consisting of several members of the woodwind instrument family, brass instrument family and percussion instrument family.
Such curricula usually include a concert overture, a march, and a miscellanous band piece, often one in the pop music genre.
The only time wind bands were used in a concert setting comparable to that of a symphony orchestra was when transcriptions of orchestral or operatic pieces were arranged and performed, as there was no susbstantial precedent for composers to write concert music for winds.
