Wind Symphony

Wind Symphony is the second of the five concert band classes at NNHS. The group has earned a state reputation, having been invited to the SuperState Contest at the University of Illinois twice (the only "second band" to have ever been invited). The wind symphony has traveled to Gatlinburg where they participated in the "Smokey Mountain Music Festival". The band also traveled down to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the 2002 Dixie Classic Grand National Adjudicators Invitational Festival. The NNHS Wind Symphony was the only “second band” to be invited to this National event. The Wind Symphony participates with the Naperville Central Wind Symphony in the annual Naperville Wind Symphony Festival, which students perform for each other, and together in a combined band - with a guest conductor from a university or college in or near Illinois. Many students in the wind symphony are District IMEA members. Selection is (as for all our concert groups) by audition, which usually consists of the required music for IMEA (Illinois Music Educators Association). Private study is highly recommended for members of this band.
