Snake River New Horizons Band (SRNHB)

Snake River New Horizons Band is part of the New Horizons International Music Association.  They have over 200 chapters and 9,000 members internationally.  New Horizons Bands are made up of beginning musicians over 50, many of whom, until recently, have never picked up a musical instrument.  It was started by Dr. Roy Ernest at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. 

The Snake River Band was started in September 2011.  There are two practices each week on Tuesday and Wednesday with 25-30 players attending.  The directors are band directors from the middle schools or students from the music department at ISU.  The band has played several concerts including at the Stephens Performing Arts Center and in two parades.  If you would like to expand or reawaken your hidden musical talents in a fun, social environment, please plan to attend the introductory meeting where you can learn more about the New Horizons Music Program.  Remember, in a New Horizons Band, playing your best is good enough!
