From time to time, as with many performing arts groups, the Colorado Wind Ensemble is in need of new players. If you are either a wind player or a percussionist, we would like to hear from you (via the email link at the bottom of this page) if you're interested in joining the ensemble, either as a permanent member or as an alternate. Usually we are on the lookout for alternates, either to fill in for regular members at times when needed, or for musicians who play instruments that are less often called for.

Please check back with us regularly, as all information is subject to change.

Regular Positions
We currently have openings for regular section players in the following sections:

Clarinet
Horn
Percussion

Alternate/Extra Positions
We currently have permanent members in the following positions. However, we often call upon members who are "alternates" to fill positions as needed, either to fill in for a regular member, or to satisfy the requirements of a piece.

We have immediate need for the following alternates:

Oboes / English Horn
Bassoon
Saxophone
Trumpet
Trombone
Tuba

We sometimes play pieces that require "non-wind ensemble" instruments and occasionally need a player for one piece or so on a concert. If you play such an instrument and would like to audition, please contact us. We have called on players of the following instruments in the past:

String bass
Piano
Harp
