Winds Cast Spotlight

Summer is here! That means that the cast of our first-ever world-class Winds ensemble has left us to travel, work, perform, and take over the world! This season at Rhythm X, Inc. we were lucky to have an incredible cast pave the way in the WGI Winds community as the first world champions. They're impressively diverse and overwhelmingly talented. They come from all over the world (no, really) and have many backgrounds. Some are high school students, other college students, others are starting their careers, and a few are band directors!

Starting tomorrow - we're going to highlight 12 of these cast members on The X Blog. Stay tuned right here for the first article tomorrow.
