Band Program
The Warhill Band program is under the direction of Mr. T. Jonathan Hargis and Mr. Hunter Kopczynski. When Warhill first opened the band was made up of 49 members, with the majority of the students coming from Lafayette High School under the redistricting of James City County. The band has since grown to 120 members and the achievements and reputation of the program continue to rise. The band has competed well in recent years and was named a Virginia Honor Band for the 2010-2011 school year. The Warhill bands include the Marching Lions, Honors Band, Symphonic Band, two jazz ensembles, and a percussion ensemble.
