The Tennessee Valley Winds

The TVW, originally the Murfreesboro Community Concert Band, was organized in 1984 for area musicians who had played in high school and college bands but who were now without a performance outlet. Joseph T. Smith, founding director and conductor from 1984-2000, lead the group through many notable performances including the Midwest Clinic International Band Conference, The Tennessee Music Educators Association Convention, the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall and was even a featured performance group in London, England.

The TVW, now conducted by Terry Jolley, enjoys a most enviable reputation. The group performs several concerts in Murfreesboro each year and travels to other communities in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.
