The Wind Symphony (Wind Symphony 1-2-3 in the Curriculum Guide) is the premiere wind and percussion ensemble at NVOT. Made up of instrumentalists in grades 10-12, this ensemble performs at four campus concerts per year. In addition, members are invited to participate in the annual spring festival weekend trip. The Wind Symphony is traveling to Washington, DC for the 2008 Washington DC Music Festival, April 3-6, 2008.

Students in this ensemble are also eligible to participate in Jazz Band (by audition), honor ensembles (by audition: County, Region, & All-State), chamber ensembles, and Musical Theater Pit Orchestra. Members of this class ensemble are required to fulfill the marching band curriculum requirement during the first (fall) marking period either through direct participation or by alternate assignment (in the case of personal conflict).
