What genre of music?

[Janette1]

We play all sorts of good music. Some marches and other just plain good concert pieces. I hope you can make the concert.

Thanks, Janette, but all sorts of good music and plain good concert pieces doesn't tell me much. Could you be a little more specific?

[CFrance]

What is an example of a concert piece that you play? Big Band? Classical? Easy listening? If you could give some song names, it might clarify what it is you play.

[Janette1]

Gershwin Classics, Highlights from the Wizard of Oz, Hogan's Heroes March, Rough Riders,Fiddler on The Roof, And All That Jazz, My Fair Lady, and Nessun Dorma are a few of the pieces we are playing. The concert is about an hour and a half long.

[CFrance]

Thanks! It sounds lovely. Whenever I hear Nessun Dorma, I'm blown away.

[Janette1]

We play Nessum Dorma from the heart. Our director demands it!

if you are not familiar with The New Horizon Bands this is a quick idea of what we about. New Horizons is international. it is about older people getting back to music. Many of us have not played since high school. It was 40 years for me before I joined 9 years ago.
