New Horizons Band/Seacoast Wind Ensemble Concert a Success

Last night's combined concert with the New Horizons Band and Wind Ensemble and the Seacoast Wind Ensemble was a hit. I am very proud of the way the NHB players are developing their performance skills.

It is hard to believe that the New Horizons Band has only been in existence for two years. The group is close-knit and has learned to play together with wonderful precision. I'd have to say that last night's performance was our best yet. Bravo!

We have not performed often (I think this was our fourth truly public performance), but the players are gaining performance confidence just the same. And it was nice to perform on a stage, even if it was situated in a school caffeteria.

Congratulations to all of the performers. It was a rewarding experience, especially the opportunity to play two pieces in a large collaborative effort. It has me thinking about what is next. Maybe there's a community chorus out there that would like to do a combined concert. That would be fun.
