Taipei Municipal Minsheng Junior High School Wind Band 타이페이시립민생중학교관악단 / Taiwan

Founded in February 2009, the Minsheng Junior High School Wind Band has flourished under the strong support of successive principals and the current principal, Ms. Kao Min-Hui, who have been committed to promoting music education. Under the dedicated leadership of permanent conductor Ms. Hsiu-Wan Huang, the band has cultivated students’ musical talents and passion. Over the years, the band has consistently earned top honors at the Taipei City Student Music Competition, reflecting both its solid performance skills and remarkable growth. The repertoire for this performance spans grand symphonic journeys and local folk traditions—symbolizing the students’ pursuit of wisdom (Sea of Wisdom), their courage to explore the unknown (Seagate Overture), and their heartfelt connection to cultural roots and memories (Taiwanese Folk Medley). Together, these pieces express a bold and thoughtful musical vision of the younger generation.
