2021-2022 Calendar
SAVANNAH RIVER WINDS SEASON
MUSIC IN THE PARK July 8th 7:00 pm
Concert is free to the public.
Location - MAUDE EDENFIELD PARK -- UPDATE: This concert has been moved indoors to the adjacent Community Center at the same address
495 Brookside Ave, North Augusta, SC 29841 This concert is usually lighter in nature, and, weather permitting, will be
performed outdoors. In case of inclement weather the concert will be moved indoors to the Community Center adjacent to the park.
The performance features the SRW Wind Ensemble.
PRISM September 27th 7:00 pm (Cancelled)
The First Baptist Church of North Augusta, Georgia Avenue, North Augusta, SC
Concert is free to the public.
PRISM features the chamber ensembles from Savannah River Winds.
Chamber groups such as flute choir, saxophone quartet, brass
quintet, percussion ensemble, and many others are positioned
throughout the sanctuary of The First Baptist Church of North Augusta.
Each ensemble performs one after the other, surrounding the audience
in a “theater in the round” presentation. This gives the audience the
opportunity to hear the “color” of each section in the wind ensemble.
After the last chamber ensemble performs, they move to the staging
area where they combine all of the “colors” of their individual groups
and blend their sounds into the sound of the wind ensemble.
VETERAN’S CONCERT November 8th 7:30 pm
Grace Methodist Church, Georgia Avenue, North Augusta, SC
Concert is free to the public.
This annual concert honors our veterans past and present. Veteran’s
names are printed in the program and announced during the concert.
This is a fund raiser where 100 % of the donations go to the local
Wounded Warrior Foundation. For information on how to honor a

GMEA District X Honor Band Clinic performance.
Abilene Baptist Church, 3917 Washington Road, Martinez, Georgia
After a three year lay off due to Covid restrictions, Savannah River Winds
is resuming their annual performance for the honor band students of GMEA
District X. This concert is not only for the students, but is open to the
public. Free Admission.
SRW is looking forward to playing this concert, not only for our audience,
but because we are finally premiering our commissioned piece, "Into
Heaven’s Hands". The piece has already been published and is available to
wind bands from CL Barnhouse Publishers. This piece was commissioned
in memory of Ms. Terry Jenkins. Terry was a Charter Member of SRW from
its beginnings in 2001. Composer, David Shaffer, from Boston, MA, will be
conducting the premiere.
We hope that all of you who knew Terry, or were one of her students, band
parents, or friends will attend this performance of the premiere of her
piece.
