Fall 2026 Open Rehearsal on September 8th at 10am! (Free opportunity to meet and greet the band before officially signing up for the program.)

The New Horizons Band of Western Mass provides a fun and nurturing social environment in which retired and/or senior adults with little-to-no formal music education can learn a concert band instrument and play ensemble music with their peers. In addition to full band rehearsals, participants are given sectional group instruction by professional musicians from NCMC.
