Charter Members Our Director, Vic Jowders Sylvester Park 2004

Our Olympia New Horizons Band started out in 1999 with 13 members showing up on the first day. Now, in our 2010-2011 season, we have well over 50! There are still over half of the original members with us as we continue into the first half of 2011, which also happens to be the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the New Horizons Band concept. Congratulations, NHIMA!

We are always looking for new members, so if you're interested in joining us, or have any corrections to the information on this page, please contact us.
