YC Wind Ensemble
The High School Wind Ensemble is the top performing wind ensemble within the music department and is for high school students. Students explore and perform a wide variety of advanced wind literature as well as continuing to expand individual technique. This performance group is a great way to enjoy music and the band experience.
