Summer Breeze 2025
Summer Breeze meets annually in the month of June to provide an opportunity for BAY Winds students and alumni to rehearse and perform in the summer. The band was founded in the summer of 2016 and regularly welcomes 60-80 musicians back to their joy of playing an instrument in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
Eligibility
Any musician who has played in the BAY Winds since its inception in 2012. All musicians must be in good-standing with the BAY Winds organization.
Tuition Policy
Summer Breeze Tuition: $75.00
BAY Winds is a non-profit organization. We rely on tuition revenue to operate and serve our student membership. Tuition is due and payable before the first rehearsal. This fee includes all instruction, materials, and costs related to concert venues, equipment, music, and operational expenses. Outstanding balances will prohibit students from future BAY Winds auditions and seasons until tuition balances have been paid in full.
Please Note: Tuition does not cover the cost of parking at the university.
