Help us

The Festival is sponsored by a non-profit organization, the East Winds Symphonic Band Association. The first festival was partially funded by monies received from the WQED-FM/Dominion Volunteer In The Arts (VITA) award. A committee of leaders active with community bands in the area volunteer their time to put together and run the festival each year, including raising the necessary funds.

Other volunteers perform a number of tasks on the day of the event, including:

  • distribution of tickets
  • distribution of programs
  • refreshment preparation
  • stage preparation
  • cleanup

If you are interested in volunteering, you can email us at festival@ewsb.org.

Monies are spent on items such as publicity, refreshments, facilities, music, and printing costs.
