Why we’re giving

Before the applause.
Beyond the score.
There’s a person.

The teammate who helps you find your confidence. The director who sees what’s possible. The people beside you when the last note fades.

Season of Giving is PPW’s way of supporting the people and stories at the heart of indoor percussion, winds and winter guard.

Your ensemble. Your next chapter.

you dream
of creating.
