Wind Ensemble
Millbrook High School's premier band, the award-winning Symphonic Wind Ensemble, continues its rich tradition under the direction of Millbrook's new Director of Bands, Natalie Kerr. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble performs Level VI music earning a Superior rating in the 2006 NC Central District Festival and most recently at the Heritage Music Festivals in Virginia (2006), Atlanta (2005) and Orlando(2004).

Students demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency through a variety of advanced instrumental literature.   An understanding of the broad aspects of music (theory, history, tone production, interpretation) are necessary for success in this advanced level course.  Participation in after-school rehearsals and performances is expected.
