traditional woodwind quintet pieces, performances by Freedom Winds
take audiences on a tour of some of the most beautiful and exciting
music from various cultures around the world. Their diverse repertoire
also includes jazz and ragtime classics along with popular themes from
Broadway’s hit shows and Hollywood’s greatest films.

Winds are called on to provide music for military retirements, changes
of command, holiday caroling for military and civilian employees and
other official military functions. The group also reaches out to
America’s young music students during concerts, clinics and
masterclasses. This allows students a unique opportunity to see a
professional music group up close and talk to members about music and
the United States Air Force.
The Air Force Band of Mid-America’s Freedom Winds delivers a
versatile, unique musical product in any performing environment. This
talented ensemble reflects the values and excellence found every day
throughout the United States Air Force.
