Ensembles - Wind and Percussion
Mission of the Wind Ensemble
The University of Michigan Flint Wind Symphony has the primary mission of providing University students, staff, and faculty with an avenue in which to continue their involvement in the performing arts. This ensemble and the Department of Music is committed to the concept of encouraging those who do not have career plans in music to develop the aesthetic self, in addition to the academic self, through the involvement in the University and the community of Flint through the performance of music for the wind band.

2 Promote the highest performance standards
