NATIONAL YOUTH WIND ENSEMBLE
The National Youth Wind Ensemble of America (NYWE) is excited to announce its inaugural season in 2020. Following a comprehensive audition process, the NYWE will consist of the nation’s premier young wind, brass, and percussion performers. These incredible musicians will spend a week in the nation’s capital, with daily rehearsals led by 2020 guest conductors Colonel Jason K. Fettig, the 28th Director of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band and Dr. Kevin Sedatole, Director of Bands at Michigan State University. Students will also receive mentorship from members of the top Washington D.C. area bands, tour the national monuments, experience military band performances at the capital, and attend the Evening Parade. The 2020 experience will be held from June 16-20, culminating in a performance in the historic Warner Theater in Washington D.C. on June 20, 2020.
OUR TESTIMONIALS
WHAT OUR DONORS OVER THE WORLD ARE SAYING
Thanks to organizations like G.I.F.T.S. I was able to perform in locations all over the U.S. and abroad. Now, that I’ve become a professional myself, I want to see the same passed forward to younger, aspiring musicians.

TrombonistDebate is what kept me focused on school work while I was in high school. If it wasn’t for organizations like G.I.F.T.S., I and many of my peers would have not had the academic opportunities that bigger schools seem to have.

Tru Art DesignsWhen I was a student soccer was my life. I followed Team U.S.A. ever since they won Gold in the 2012 Olympics. Now that I’m older I want to see younger women with that same glow in their eyes to achieve their dreams.
