THE VILLAGES NEW HORIZONS BAND


was founded in November 2005 and offers its members a wide variety

of music to perform for all listeners to enjoy. All members are Village residents

and come from varied backgrounds with one commonality, instrumental music

making in their retirement years.

The Villages New Horizons Band continues to support the philosophy of the

international program of The New Horizons International Music Association

which encourages and supports senior citizens involvement in instrumental

music programs. NHB membership includes the Association of Concert Bands

and the Bands Of The Villages. The NHB supports various area groups and organizations through their donations derived from proceeds from our concerts.

Attendance Policy for playing a Concert


As we continue grow

in quality of performance

and quantity of members 

it is imperative to have full attendance at rehearsals.


We all know that there are very good reasons why people are not able to attend every rehearsal

and those reasons are respected; however, the following guidelines have been established to insure the highest level of performance that we 

can possibly achieve.
