Committed to Excellence
In Musical Performance, Community Outreach,
& Educational Opportunity
The Naperville Winds’ mission is to serve as a national pillar of exemplary wind band performance and as a community leader of musical literature awareness and education for youth in northern Illinois. Our vision is to bring the most outstanding works of wind band repertory to the mainstream. We maintain the highest musical integrity standards and expectations to foster a culture of excellence among our musician-members. We are committed to providing robust educational experiences and opportunities for youth in the Chicagoland region by sharing our stage with high school bands, particularly those that represent socioeconomically marginalized communities.
The Naperville Winds kicks off its third season on October 12, 2023 with our first concert, “What’s Old Is New Again.” Opening for The Naperville Winds is the award-winning Victor J. Andrew High School Wind Symphony, directed by Mr. Mark Iwinski.
