The Wind Ensemble is a select group of approximately 40-50 wind and percussion players chosen by audition each spring and begins at the conclusion of marching season (late October). This ensemble ranges in size from 45-65 students in grades 9-12 and performs standard high school band literature at three scheduled band concerts throughout the year. The Concert Band is the ensemble to which most students are assigned and begins at the conclusion of marching season (late October). The band program consists of two types of ensembles: those required of all students and those that are voluntary. Bryan Kujawa just joined the High School Band program as Band Director in 2018. Nick Castonguay joined the Shorewood High School Band program as Band Director in 2014. Justin Olson joined the high school band staff as director of the Concert Band in 2011. Salvatore Terrasi took over the program from Mr. Pendelton built the program into what it is today, with its two concert bands, marching band, jazz ensemble, and pep band program.
Marlin Pendelton became Shorewood High School’s third band director in the fall of 1974. Smith retired as band director, turning the program over to LeRoy Augustine, who directed the Shorewood High School Band from 1968 until 1974, when he left to become Shorewood’s elementary band director. The Shorewood High School Band program began in the fall of 1926, under the direction of Sandy Smith, and included about 50 students from Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, and Glendale, since neither Whitefish Bay now Nicolet High Schools had yet been built.
