urrounded by animal exhibits and spectators, the Hutchinson Community College Wind Symphony performed in the Hutchinson Zoo while the wind blew and leaves crunched under foot. “Each year, I try to have the Wind Symphony perform off-campus in a nontraditional performance venue; this is an important part of our community involvement with this band, and one that our students typically have a great experience with. In the past, we’ve put on concerts at the Kansas Cosmosphere and the Strataca Salt Mine,” said Chris Miertschin, Music Instructor-Band Director.
