Last night’s concert was the culmination of weeks of preparation from our Pacific Wind Bands students! The concert theme “Hidden Echoes” highlighted the ties between multiple musical works, and how the impact of one artist can influence many to follow.
The Pacific Wind Bands are also grateful to have had the experience to work with Professor Robert Ponto, one of Professor Nguyen’s former teachers and mentors. Thank you to all who attended the concert or watched through the live stream!

The event concluded with an amazing performance by the Pacific Wind Bands and included special guest conductor Dr. Jason Caslor from Arizona State University and guest artist Dr. Otis Murphy from Indiana University. The performance also showcased 2025-2026 Conservatory Performance Competition winner, Casey Kim and 2025-2026 Conservatory Competition winner, Edmund Bascon.
