and with that, the band extends a huge "Thank You" to all our supporters for making this season truly exceptional! Your enthusiasm, attendance, donations, and encouragement have been the driving force behind our performance and growth. A special thank you goes to the Fort Fund, whose generous grant program has been instrumental in supporting our music programming, allowing us to bring high-quality music to the Fort Collins community and visitors alike. We also have a special thank you to the First United Methodist Church on Stover Street in Fort Collins for the use of their beautiful Sanctuary for our performances!
Our rehearsals for the 2025-2026 season begin on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. We look forward to another great year of music and hope you can join us again!
Have a safe and wonderful summer!
Our 2nd Annual "Swing Into Spring" Jazz Concert is in the Books!
Thank you to all who attended this fun concert and for your generous donations!
Three groups were featured:
The Greyrock Jazz Band played traditional New Orleans style jazz music
The Bone Addicts trombone quartet performed several jazz arrangements
And, the Northern Colorado New Horizons' Swing Band, a 17-piece Big Band, rounded out the concert with some great tunes.
New Horizons International Music Association is an international nonprofit music organization providing seniors and anyone over age 50 an opportunity to play in a band. Our local Northern Colorado group welcomes beginners (qualified instructors are available), and experienced musicians, past and present. Many members played an instrument in school, but had set it aside for many years. Others use the opportunity to try a new instrument. Our musical groups include: Concert Band (Blue), Intermediate (Red) Band, Swing Band, Woodwind Ensemble, Flute Choir, Clarinet Choir, a Saxophone Quartet, and a Brass Ensemble.
We meet from September through early May with rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at Good Shepherd Church, 3429 N. Monroe Avenue, Loveland, CO 80538. Email: NorthernColorado.NHB@gmail.com for details to join the band.
If you are a current/former musician, or have always wanted to be a musician in a concert band, email us at NorthernColorado.NHB@gmail.org for more details on how to join.
Our band has once again been awarded a very generous grant from the City of Fort Collins Fort Fund to support our 2024-2025 season. We want to thank the City Cultural Review Board for continued support of our unique community programs. Their efforts help make Fort Collins a special place.
The New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) is celebrating 33 years of music making. The city of Fort Collins supports many cultural activities including our group through the Fort Fund grant program.
