Directed by Mr. Alarcon, the Wind Symphony is the premier concert ensemble at South Hills High School. 

In recent years, the ensemble has achieved significant milestones, earning its first Sweepstakes award at the 2024 5A UIL Concert & Sight Reading Evaluation, and again at the 2025 5A UIL Evaluation—a testament to the dedication, skill, and artistry of its members.

Directed by Ms. Ledesma, the Symphonic Wind Ensemble is the second concert ensemble at South Hills High School, committed to developing musicianship and achieving high performance standards.

In 2025, under Mr. Adams, the group earned a First Division rating at the 5A UIL Evaluation

Directed by Mr. Alarcon, the Concert Band provides students with the opportunity to strengthen fundamental skills while performing a variety of engaging and educational repertoire.

From August to November, all students in the South Hills Band program come together to form the marching band, a unified and high-performing group that provides musical support at every South Hills football game, presents engaging halftime shows, and represents the school at local marching contests.

Under the direction of Mr. Alarcon, the band has qualified for the Area F Marching Contest for three consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024), marking the program’s first 5A Area appearances in school history.

Open to all members of the band program, the Pep Band brings energy and spirit to every home basketball game.

The ensemble was invited to fill in for the East Carolina University Pep Band at both the 2023 and 2025 AAC Basketball Tournaments, and most recently performed on behalf of Fairleigh Dickinson University during their first-ever appearance in the Women’s NCAA Tournament.
