GIFTS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and is excited to announce the start of the inaugural National Youth Wind Ensemble, but we need your help in making this the premier youth wind ensemble in the country.  Donating will allow the best of the best to participate and not have to worry about the costs of the festival program which includes rehearsals by Colonel Jason K. Fettig, Director of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band and Dr. Kevin Sedatole, Director of the Michigan State University Wine Ensemble, masters classes with top area D.C. musicians, transportation, lodging, meals, and of course performing in the historic Warner Theatre!

Please consider donating to this great cause as we can’t wait to bring young musicians from across the country to share their love of music with all of us in our Nation’s Capital!
