The Gorge Winds Concert Band may be "hired" to perform by a city, company, or organization for many types of events. The "cost" of a performance depends on several factors, including the desired size of the group to perform, the location of the performance, the type of event, and the length of the performance. We are a volunteer organization, and we have a fairly low overhead. Many organizations have been pleased with a high quality performance for a low cost.

Who to Contact

Our music director deals with aspects of booking the band. This includes determining a date and time for the band to play, providing details of fees that are charged, and the practical arrangements needed for the event. To contact our music director, send an email to Sam Grotte or call at 509-493-1082.
