"A concert band, also called
wind band,
symphonic band,
symphonic winds,
wind orchestra,
wind symphony, or
wind ensemble, is a performing ensemble consisting of several members of the woodwind instrument family, brass instrument family and percussion instrument family. Its various repertoire include original wind compositions, arranged classical items, light music, and popular tunes. Though the instrumentation is similar, it is distinguished from the marching band in that its primary function is as a concert ensemble. The repertoire for a concert band may, however, contain marches. A Wind Ensemble usually has one musician per part while concert band doubles parts."
