The Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Mr. Zook, is made up of students in grades 9-12 who are selected for the group based on playing ability and commitment to the band program. The Wind Ensemble is the flagship ensemble of the concert band program, and is continuing to challenge its members with more demanding literature.
Wind Ensemble members are encouraged to participate in advanced opportunities for performance and improvement, such as CODA (All-Region) and All-State Band Auditions, Solo/Ensemble Contest, and private study on their instrument. Wind Ensemble meets 2nd hour, from 8:55-9:45 am.
