The L.A. Winds are actively involved in a number of community events.
Each year, the L.A. Winds hosts a high school band festival on the
campus of Pierce College. This festival provides local high school
bands with an opportunity to perform and to be critiqued by
college band directors. Following the high schools’ performances, the
L.A. Winds perform for the students.
The L.A. Winds have also performed in support of the Los Angeles Sight
Center, the Pacific Lodge Boys’ Home, and the Sisters of St. Louis at
St. Mel Catholic Church.

The Los Angeles Winds are sponsored by and have forged a strong
relationship with Los Angeles Pierce College and the Los Angeles
Community College District. The group has performed annually at the
Pierce College graduation ceremony for over twenty years. The band
takes pride in being able to participate in the commencement ceremony
and give back to the college that provides it with so much support.
Additionally, the L.A. Winds had the honor of being invited to play at
the inauguration of Darroch "Rocky" Young as Chancellor of the Los
Angeles Community College District. It was a great privilege for the
band to be able to perform for the incoming Chancellor, his family and
friends, and so many college administrators, college presidents, and
members of the Los Angeles College District Board of Trustees.
Each year, the L.A. Winds perform at the Warner Park “Concerts in the
Park” series, sponsored by the Valley Cultural Center. The L.A. Winds
take tremendous pleasure in being able to entertain an audience that
can top 30,000 people. In 2006 and again in 2008 the L.A. Winds were
the headline act for Los Angeles Councilman Dennis Zine's “Valley of
the Stars July 4th Extravaganza” featuring a fireworks show
synchronized to a live performance by the band.
