Lander Wind Ensemble Continues America 250 Tribute at Upcoming Concert
February 15, 2026
This will be the third wind ensemble performance of the 2025-26 school year, and will maintain the “Americana” theme of the previous two concerts, joining many organizations across the nation in celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This concert will focus on folk melodies heard during the American Revolution and Civil War. In addition to the Lander Wind Ensemble, the Old Main Singers will be joining the band to perform “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
The Lander University Wind Ensemble is the premier instrumental concert ensemble at Lander University. The group is under the direction of Dr. Reed Gallo, chair of the Department of Music. He is also the director of bands and professor of trumpet. Gallo studied with Ron Romm, a founding member of the Canadian Brass, and many top orchestra performers. He has performed on solo tours in Europe, including the Kmoch Festival in Prague, and in Southeast Asia.
