New Horizons Bands are Unique!
They offer a program:
for older adults
for daytime playing
for all musical levels
with an environment to learn and progress
where you can continue to refine and hone your musical skills
where fun and friends are important and "your best is good enough"
The Musical Experience

More Than Music
Social and fun are important! We enjoy:
Weekly coffee breaks
Get-togethers
Frequent and random laughter
We are a band connected by music and a shared enjoyment of being "in it together"
