South Puget Sound New Horizons Band
Thurston County Food Bank Benefit Concert
June 7, 2017
The South Puget Sound New Horizons Band will present a benefit concert in support of the Thurston County Food Bank at 7:00 PM on June 7, 2019. The concert will be held at the Land Yacht Harbor Harmony Hall, 9101 Steilacoom Rd SE, Olympia, WA.
The New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) is a worldwide organization comprised of over 200 New Horizons groups whose 9,000 members are over the age of 50. Some members have returned to music after a long hiatus, some are beginning musicians, and some are active amateurs or retired music educators.
Our local New Horizons Band was formed in Tacoma, WA, in 1996 with 5 musicians and director, Vic Jowders. It has grown to include over 70 members who rehearse weekly in Olympia under the direction of Vic Jowders. Concert selections will include a wide variety of music, from stirring marches to favorites from America’s folk tradition, film, and theater.
With this concert, the band combines their love for music with enthusiastic support for the mission of the Thurston County Food bank, whose mission it is to eliminate hunger within our community. We encourage cash donations so that the food bank can purchase food at bulk rates.
