Last night we gathered in the Milo W Peck Auditorium to celebrate the wonderful bands of Windsor High, all led by Director of Bands, Mr. Brandon Monroe. One thing I have learned about attending WHS band events is that they do not disappoint! From the Jazz Ensemble with its complex harmonies and syncopated rhythms to the smooth sounds from our Symphonic Winds, you are always in for a treat!
The night also marked the last high school performance from our seniors, all who will be attending college in the fall. This bittersweet goodbye was one for the books.
To our seniors and their dedicated families thank you for the years of entertainment and memories! We look forward to seeing the amazing things you do in the future! Be sure to check out the Senior Spotlights below to see what our seniors will be up to next!
Last but not least, thank you Mr. Monroe for breathing such beauty and energy into our music department! We are looking forward to what you cook up next year!
