Over the past few months, members of the Wind Ensemble have worked many hours on learning their parts for CRUSH. Once that was completed came the task of learning to play along with a rehearsal/click track while recording their performance. What you are hearing is the culmination of all their hard work and dedication. We hope you enjoy our first Virtual Band piece, CRUSH!
