Southwind Director’s Hub – Fall 2021

Hello Southwind Friends and Family,

As high school and college bands swing back into action, we too start planning for our future. It all begins with our 2022 auditions. A few weeks ago, we opened the website for registrations and already, the students are signing up. But still, there are many unknowns for the 2022 season such as new covid protocols, student numbers, and housing. But for now, we expect it to be like past summers. We’re planning for move-ins to begin in mid-June followed by a 4-5 week road tour that ends in Indianapolis. Our exact tour stops will not be announced by DCI until Thanksgiving, so stay tuned for where we’ll perform. No matter what, I’m sure we’re going to need plenty of help on the road. It seems we never have a surplus of drivers, food service staff, or medical personnel. Consider this my first request to donate time if you have it. Spend a week with the corps! We can pick you up at a gas station and fly you home at the end of your time. Whatever it takes to get this group down the road.
