Play it again, Sam!
Members of the New Horizons Band are promised three things: you learn a new instrument or reacquaint yourself with an old one, you have fun and you gain a whole new family. And judging from the camaraderie of its members who hail from all over the area, every single promise is kept — and then some. Band membership is open to interested musicians who are 50 years old or older. The oldest member is in her late 80s and a World War II veteran, and learned to play a trumpet with the group when it first began 12 years ago. But don’t let an older age bracket fool you. Energy and enthusiasm best describe the atmosphere of the Robert M. Sides Music Center practice room every Tuesday and Thursday morning where rehearsals are held for seniors eager to learn. The band is made up of brass, percussion and woodwind instruments, and boasts three experienced directors, Al Nacinovich, Lucy Henry and Judy Shellenberger — all retired public school music teachers.
