Hillcrest Wind Ensemble

The Hillcrest Wind Ensemble, one of Southern California's finest adult musical organizations, celebrates 40 years of providing quality musical programs for the greater San Diego community.

Originally called San Diego's Finest City Freedom Band, the group was formed in 1985 to bring music to the LGBT community as a marching band that also played concerts. With the turn of the new century, the band has evolved into an elite wind ensemble, playing more advanced music with a new mission to entertain the ideal of diversity within our ranks as well as promoting quality music to all of San Diego.
