Desert Winds Freedom Band ​Scholarship Program 

 Each year we award scholarships to deserving high school seniors and college students from our valley who will be majoring in music performance, education or composition. To date the Band has awarded $56,000  in scholarships. The Awards are made from funds received from the Ralph Fingerle Education Trust annual donation and individual donations made to the James Hobart Davidson Scholarship Fund. We congratulate all the 2024 Scholarship Recipients.
