The NBHS Band was started in 1959. Under the able leadership of several directors, the NBHS Band slowly developed into one of Western North Carolina's most consistent programs. Much of NBHS band's success is tied to the expectations and traditions set in place by the former band director, Wallace Brown. After 31 years of teaching at NBHS, Mr. Brown retired in June of 2003. In the fall of 2003, Mr. D. Sanford Boone was hired as the NBHS band director.

"The musician is constantly adjusting decisions on tempo, tone, style, rhythm, phrasing, and feeling -- training the brain to become incredibly good at organizing and
conducting numerous activities at once. Dedicated practice of this orchestration can have a great payoff for lifelong attentional skills, intelligence, and an
ability for self-knowledge and expression." Ratey John J., MD. A User's Guide to the Brain.
