	The Austin Civic Wind Ensemble has performed free concerts for the citizens of Austin, Texas since 1975.

	The Austin Civic Wind Ensemble (ACWE) is Austin's oldest community band and is an ensemble formed of both amateur and professional musicians. The mission of the band is twofold: to provide an ensemble for Austin area musicians who want to pursue music performance as a hobby and to bring public performances of great concert band literature to the Austin community.
