Purdue Bands & Orchestras is taking to the sky on March 14th, 2026, to share the talents of the Wind Ensemble and Purdue Jazz Band with music lovers and friends across Spain. The two ensembles will perform in and explore Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona over spring break. For many of our students, this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and PBO wants to do everything in our power to support them getting there. Because the students will be traveling with their own instruments, there are additional costs. We launched an instrument travel crowdfunding campaign on Friday, February 13th, at 12:00 AM with the goal of $10,000 to offset the cost of flying their instruments to and from Spain. Your generosity could lighten the load and relieve some of the financial baggage. Use the link below to participate in our 30-day campaign that closes the night before they take flight! Every dollar makes a difference.
