Frequently Asked Questions

Do you practice and perform through the summer months? Yes we are fortunate to practice during the summer months in air-conditioned facilities and there are numerous concerts scheduled.
Check the Events Calendar frequently on this website for new events.
What is the cost to participate? The 2025 annual fee for all members is $250.00 or $100.00 per term (three terms per year) to join any or all activities.
It has always been the policy that fees should not be an obstacle to anyone who would like to play with any of the bands. If you feel that you need help in this area please speak to one of the members of the board of directors and we’ll be happy to make accommodations.

Member Testimonials

Michael
trombone

"I wanted to relearn trombone for years.
I heard about Grand River New Horizons just as I retired.
The experience has been wonderful! I especially like the gigs.
They are a 'hoot', or should I say 'toot'."

Les
euphonium

"Soon after hearing of the start-up of Grand River New Horizons Music,
I was visiting grandchildren who are deeply involved with a number of
musical instruments and activities.
The thought occurred to me that I might attempt to revive old skills
that I hadn't used for over fifty years, and have some fun doing so.
Making music with the group has been stimulating and enjoyable."

Mary Jane
flute

"My big sister made me! She knew I would enjoy playing again and I have! It's a great group."

Evelyn
percussion

"I joined the group for health reasons because I had heard that playing music improves health. I started playing the oboe last year but decided to switch to percussion this year.
It's a challenge but I'm enjoying it immensely."

Ron
trumpet

"I always wanted to make music and N.H. Band has enabled me.
Fantastic Experience/Great People/Great Leadership/Great Music"

Barbara
french horn

"To have fun and more opportunities to play. I've enjoyed it very much so far."
