The WVYS was founded in 2000 by Mrs. Regan Eckstein. Students come from Tippecanoe and surrounding counties. It has grown to over 80 students playing a variety of instruments including strings, wind, brass and percussion. Students meet for two hours every week through the school year and these rehearsals culminate in three concerts which are free and open to the public.
