The South Puget Sound New Horizons Band will present its annual free Spring Concert at 10:00 AM on March 27, 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.
With this free concert, the band celebrates the coming of spring with a variety of favorites, new and old. Among the possibilities are Carnival Variations, featuring our trumpet section, Jazz Pizzicato by Leroy Anderson, marches Black Horse Troop and Flying Eagle, a show tune or two, and a couple of surprises. We welcome our community to our celebration and know they’ll enjoy hearing our selections as much as we enjoy playing them.
