"In practice (at the college level, at least), a wind ensemble is the

At our music centre we have both a wind band and a wind ensemble. The
ensemble is much smaller than the band and uses orchestral instruments
only (no saxes then) but the main distinction is in the repertoire, the
ensemble being very much a chamber music group.
Now that's interesting -- no saxes! I wonder how Gary will determine
what instruments make it into Garritan Wind Ensemble?
