Membership
New Horizons Band-Dallas Concert Band welcomes new members. However, too many instruments in
one section can cause an overload in comparison with the rest of the band. The band currently has need for several band instrumentation, with particular
need for percussion, bassoon, and baritone sax.
PERCUSSIONISTS,
WE WANT YOU!!!
We are very low on percussionists - come join the camaraderie and fun of the New Horizons Band.
There are four requirements for joining the NHBD Concert Band: be able to read
music, be age 50 or older
(although exceptions to this are possible), play or want to play
an instrument scored for bands, be able to rehearse
on Fridays and perform when concerts are scheduled. No audition is
