| The West Johnston High School band program was established in the Fall of 2002 with the opening of West Johnston High School. The West Johnston High School band program is comprised of various components that perform and compete at the local, state and national levels. This program offers students a comprehensive educational experience through music, performance, life lessons and opportunities that extend well beyond a traditional classroom. The West Johnston Band Program has already influenced hundreds of high school students.Our students have learned that with hard work and dedication anything is possible. Rewards for this dedication include travel and performance throughout our nation, representing Johnston County and the State of North Carolina. Throughout the last seven years, the music program at West has been guided by an extremely talented and committed staff of top music educators. Having had several top place finishes at Bands of America and WGI events, and at state and local competitions, the band was chosen to be North Carolina's only representative to the 55th Presidential Inaugural Parade. |
