This list reflects a broad range of musical talent. We are especially proud of the fact that several of these gifted young musicians are multi-faceted members of more than one musical group at WNHS. Though selected for other groups, Matt Bonen, Clay Corso, Nathan Crowe, Elizabeth Kapitaniuk, Carter Martin, and Brad Weeder are also members of the WNHS Wind Ensemble and James Blanchard is also a member of the WNHS Orchestra.  This reflects the camaraderie and teamwork of the department which is led by directors Amy Nooden (Choir), Jon Noworyta (Band), and Phil Rudd (Orchestra).
