The Honors Wind Ensemble is dedicated to the musical, emotional, and intellectual development of instrumental music students. Achievement of this mission includes a mastery of aural and oral music training, foundational theory knowledge, as well as core instrumental technique. The Honors Wind Ensemble studies a large and diverse selection of wind musical repertoire; including cornerstone band literature, transcriptions from other musical mediums, works with feature artists, and popular music arrangements/transcriptions. The Wind Ensemble performs literature in line with advanced high school ensembles (Grade 3 ½ - 6), and seeks the highest mastery of artistic intent.

The group performs between five and eight performances in a school year, including individual, chamber ensemble, and large ensemble works for diverse audiences including the extended Mullica Hill community as well as at regional and state festivals. Students are expected to attend all performances throughout the school year, both during and outside the school day. Over the past three years the ensemble received Superior ratings at the South Jersey Region Band Festival, and has participated in both the New Jersey State Gala as well as the New Jersey Music Educators Association Conference. Members of the Wind Ensemble have received numerous individual accolades, including being named to All-South Jersey, All-State, and All-Eastern ensembles, as well as participation in local independent honors ensembles.
