NOYO offers five large ensembles—the Philharmonia Orchestra, Sinfonietta Strings, Wind Symphony, Amati Strings, and Symphonic Band—during the concert season.
The Wind Symphony, directed by Mrs. Rachel Boettler, is an intermediate concert band, the only one of its kind in Lorain County. It affords woodwind, brass, and percussion players the opportunity to play exciting literature in a dynamic instructional context....
The Symphonic Band is an advanced wind ensemble under the direction of Mr. Brett Benzin. Symphonic Band musicians play high-level band repertoire with an emphasis on energy and dynamism. NOYO accepts Symphonic Band auditions on woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments.
This jazz ensemble is directed by Mr. Nathan Holaway. Participants will develop practical and theoretical jazz skills and rehearse and perform jazz repertoire from the 20th and 21st centuries. The Vanguard Jazz Combo is open to high-school students only.
