The USCA New Horizons Band program is a member of the New Horizons International Music Association which was developed to provide “entry points to music-making for adults.” New Horizons Band courses are designed to allow participants to develop individual and ensemble performance skills on a traditional band wind or percussion instrument, and to provide opportunities for musical collaboration and social interaction with other local musicians. No experience is necessary to enroll in the New Horizons Concert Band. However, the Jazz Band is intended for players with at least some experience. The USCA New Horizons Concert Band is intended for adults with little or no musical training. Topics covered include music reading, instrument selection and maintenance, individual practice skills, and ensemble rehearsal. The Concert Band will perform one concert per semester. New Horizons members can sign up for private lessons with USCA faculty if they would like. Final rehearsal is on 11/19, and the concert is on 11/22 at 3 p.m. on the Etherredge Center stage 11/19 Final Rehearsal 11/22 Concert at 3:00 PM Location: Etherredge Center Stage
