Capitalizing on this versatility, Southwest Winds provides entertainment at a multitude of venues to include official military ceremonies and functions, educational outreach at elementary and junior high schools, recruiting concerts at high schools and college campuses, and community relations concerts.
As part of the Air Education and Training Command at Lackland Air Force Base, Southwest Winds is proud to represent the men and women of the United States Air Force.
