Welcome to part of the Carroll Community Wind Ensemble out of Carrollton, Ga.

The ensemble is a community outreach program of the Carroll Symphony Orchestra that began 3 years ago and has performed at many community events. This is their second time performing with the University of West Georgia. Two years ago they combined with members of the CSO to provide the pit orchestra for the opera Carmen.

They currently have 5 trumpet players in their trumpet section. The photo includes, from left to right, Bob Johnson, Jen Houck and Chris Davis. Their other two trumpet players are Terry Strickland and Lee Ritchie.

The Carroll Community Wind Ensemble is open to any musician that previously played a wind instrument in high school or college. Many have not played in an organized group for many years.
