The Wartburg College Wind Ensemble will stop at the Central Performing Arts Center in DeWitt Saturday, March 22, for a free-will concert as part of its annual spring tour of Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. The concert will be held in the auditorium at Central Community High School, beginning at 7 p.m.
The ensemble is under the direction of Dr. Craig A. Hancock, director of bands at the college, located in Waverly. The group tours the Midwest each spring and makes an international tour every third year during May Term.
In their college years, both Josh Greubel and Brittany Manning, Central's high school and middle school band directors, toured with the Wind Ensemble as did Central and Wartburg graduates Duane Bierman, Stephanie Wiese, Rachel Vickers, Melanie Saunders and Colleen Tague, among others.
