The Lakeshore Wind Ensemble is a great place that brings people from the community together of all different ages, interests, careers to work together toward the common goal of creating interesting and fun concerts together. Being the Assistant Director of both the LWE and the LBB, I’m honored that I get to lead both groups for our annual Pops Concert each January."
