Desert Valley Winds is an ensemble comprised of musicians from throughout the Phoenix metro area. Its purpose is to give public performances of concert band music, to encourage interest in music and cultural activities in the surrounding communities.

Interested in joining Desert Valley Winds?

The Desert Valley Winds community band seeks woodwinds, brass and percussionist musicians to join our growing community band. We especially need clarinets, flutes, trombones, and percussionists. We also need French horns, baritones, saxophones, oboe, bassoon and tubas.

Any band instrument player who would like to join us is welcome, regardless of instrument or skill level. We welcome returning players, new players, seasoned veteran players, come one, come all. Current members have varying skill levels and we have fun playing great together!

We are a non-profit community concert band that was formed in October of 2022. We play a fun mix of patriotic tunes, show tunes, movie scores, marches, symphony and classic concert music. We pride ourselves in focusing on being entertaining and have been called “The Most Entertaining Band in the Valley”.

We practice in in Tempe on Saturdays from 9:30 - 11:30 am. We usually play about a show a month on average, sometimes more often, sometimes less. Our shows are usually free and open to all. Come and join us for a lot of fun music!

Come and join the fun!
