Support the ensemble
The Hillcrest Wind Ensemble is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
The ensemble relies on ticket sales and contributions for all operational needs. However, ticket sales do not cover the expenses of producing a concert, primarily due to soaring venue rental prices. This makes donations more important than ever. Please consider the benefits of helping your band.
Your monetary donations are tax-deductible. You will receive a tax letter after the end of the year showing your total donation for the year.

Donate toward the 40th anniversary commission
