Our wildly popular silent auction is back again this fall! Bid for items and experiences created by Cascade Winds band members.  The timing is perfect for finding gifts for those hard-to-by-for friends and relatives!

The auction will be held in conjunction with our fall concert, Sunday, November 8, at 2PM in the auditorium at Summit High School in Bend. This is our only fundraiser for the year, and we are excited to add this event to our schedule. Various items and experiences provided primarily by members of the Cascade Winds will be on the docket – another way to support the ensemble and its musicians. You may bid before the concert and during intermission, then pick up your winnings immediately after the concert.

As you know, admission to all Cascade Winds performances is free. However, there are significant expenses each year including hall rental, music purchase, and scholarship assistance for players. We are extremely grateful for individual and corporate donations that support our work, and we would, once again, like to count you among our dedicated supporters.

All donations made to the non-profit Cascade Winds Symphonic Band Association go directly towards operating expenses for the ensemble and are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Your contribution will help ensure the long-term presence of live music in Central Oregon and will continue to provide a place for musicians to “make music” for our region. Please make a donation online.
