Proud of This Band!!
West Johnston High School.....is located in the McGee's Crossroads Area in Benson NC. A great School with an awesome band program.
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 beyond a traditional classroom.
Under the guidance of Directors Mr. M. Lance Britt and Mr. David S. Duffy, 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.
Since the Fall of 2002, the band program has had several top place finishes at Bands of America and WGI events, and at state and local competitions. In 2005, the band was chosen to be North Carolina's only representative to the 55th Presidential Inaugural Parade.
The band program is part of the Fine Arts curriculum at West Johnston High School and consists of the Marching Band, Color Guard, Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band that compete at National, Regional and local competitions. The band program also provides students the opportunity to learn and compete through many extra-curricular activities including two Winterguard units, Indoor Percussion and Jazz Band.
Students involved with the West Johnston High School band program have given back to their community through many performances at various community events.
