The Buffalo State College Wind Ensemble is one of the premiere performing ensembles on campus. The Wind Ensemble performs works in the traditional wind band repertoire as well as contemporary works of various styles. While the ensemble is open to any instrumentalist enrolled at Buffalo State College, there is a placement audition at the beginning of the Fall semester. The ensemble endeavors to expose students to the artistry and performance demands of large ensemble performance.

The Wind Ensemble is directed by Rick Fleming.
