Instrumental Music
The instrumental music program consists of Jazz Band, Symphonic Winds, Concert Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and Symphonic Orchestra. The Millikan Music program has been directed by Michael Pappone, Roger Johnson, and James Mooy before they went on to teaching at LBCC, CSULB/LBCC, and SBCC respectively. Now the Millikan Instrumental Music program is under the direction of Renee Bhatia.
Each year the various music ensembles compete in festivals throughout the United States. In recent years Millikan musicians have traveled to compete in festivals in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Reno. In the Spring of 2006 the Symphonic Orchestra performed in a national festival at the Historic Boston Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts.
