The Symphonic Band program is an academic program offered at West Johnston High School.
There are two bands; the Wind Symphony
and
the Symphonic Band.
Each of the bands are comprised of members from the marching band and interested
students selected through auditions. These symphonic bands perform at concerts,
and participate in local and national competitions, and selected community activities.
The Symphonic Bands compete at the National level through attendance at the
Dixie Classic Festival.
Local and Regional competitions include attendance at the NC Bandmaster and the
Southeastern District Band Director's Association
events.
The West Johnston High School Symphonic Bands have performed throughout the Eastern United States, including performances in 2003 at Atlanta's Symphony Hall and in 2006 at the
Rialto Center for the Performing Arts.
West Johnston High School Band had the most students ever named to
2009 Southeastern All-District Band and the most from any
school in Johnston County this year. Seven hundred students from high
schools throughout the thirty county Southeastern District auditioned
to become a member of the All-District Band.
