Wind Ensemble

The Wind Ensemble is the most select performance ensemble at Willowbrook High School. This very talented group holds specific instrumentation and a maximum enrollment of approximately 40 musicians. The Wind Ensemble has a very active performance schedule including regularly scheduled school concerts, specialty programs, local concerts, IMEA, and numerous festivals and competitions throughout the state. Members are expected to practice individually on a frequent basis and in extra rehearsals or sectionals. Private lesson instruction is highly encouraged to advance individual playing ability for the better of the ensemble. In addition, It is highly recommended that students own their own instruments; however, specialized school owned instruments may be available.

In addition, this group has the option to receive honors credit (decided within the first two weeks of the school year) with outside class assignments that include regular playing test of ILMEA scales, SmartMusic assignments, and other outside performances that are required to receive an honors credit.
