My PLN - Wind Band FM

Finally! A radio station (or at least an internet station) devoted to playing ONLY the greatest in the Wind Symphony world. It is about time that someone created a radio station just for the Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band. When is the last time you have heard of an entire radio station devoted to just playing the most important and significant literature of the Wind Band Genre? I don't know about you out there in the virtual blog world, but I am happy and overjoyed that such a marvelous resource exists for us. Usually you have to listen to a classical music radio station for literally days before they will play something from the band world - and even then it is something that is usually watered down, and not true modern day band repertoire.

Wind Band FM will list what is playing, who composed it, and the ensemble and conductor playing the piece. It also has archives and a shop where you can purchase CDs that are important to us as Wind Band educators. Every time that I have been on this website, they have played the most significant band literature from the old to the new. From Holst to Husa, from Mozart to Maslanka, this station really has it all. I would encourage anybody to go give this site a look. It is brand new, and it is another resourse for those of us looking for recordings of particular pieces that are difficult to find.

So what are you waiting for? Go! You will not be dissapointed!!!
