Maestro Trobaugh first joined the Memphis Wind Symphony in 1985 and served as Principal Horn until moving to the podium initially in 2010, later becoming the full-time Musical

Director in 2014. Following directly in the footsteps of previous MWS Directors, Barry has evolved the performance-standard and concert frequency bringing the Memphis Wind

Symphony to greater popularity with both concert goers and musical performers. Children’s concerts, seasonal events, masterwork showcases, and special events now fill the annual calendar of this amazing musical ensemble.
