The group “Swingin’ Along” will be playing at the 10:30 church service at Emanuel UCC (on Eastern Rd. … where we play in the cemetery) on Sunday, August 13.

Would love to have you come and support them!

Good morning, I want to share this with you, I came across this on a site called “Trombone Place”. The tempo is seriously fast and impressive, Miss Ella is incredible, I heard when she scats it’s because she forgot the words, true or not, it fits the songs she sings, she is a songstress to the highest magnitude.

Have a wonderful day. Abyemabi

Hello fellow band mates, this is the site I used to play the “Lords Prayer”. I found with songs for cello, but I’ve seen it for other instruments also. Abyemabi

Here’s the theme for Peter Gunn. I enjoyed my time at the picnic. Thank you all for your support. Sincerely, Abyemabi

I performed today at church. It was my first ever live and in-person before an audience of around 100.

The music is “The Holy City” by Stephan Adams. The music source was 8notes.com, which I highly recommend for anyone seeking music to play for their own pleasure and growth.

Without NHB, I would never had gained the experience needed for me to even consider this.
Thanks to Jim, Jamie, Bev and Cal!!

Aaron Fried worked with NHB cellos a few years back, and is now in school at U Wisc. This is a livestream concert of a quartet he plays with.

Note: After you start the video it will run for about 4 minutes before you see or hear anything. You can wait it out, or click on the time line to scroll ahead. It is also interesting to note that everyone is using a tablet to read their music (along with a foot pedal to turn the pages).

THE NEW HORIZONS BAND OF SUMMIT AND STARK COUNTIES really means it when our members tell a veteran “Thank you for your service.” Our band has a long and honored tradition of performing for veteran groups in Northeast Ohio. For several years, we have proudly provided the music for the Military Air Preservation Society’s (MAPS) annual Veterans Celebration in their huge air hangar on the edge of the runway for the Akron/Canton Airport. To an audience of up to 450 guests, we have played patriotic music including the Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless the USA, and other songs. The favorite selection is always the Marches of the Armed Forces. As the song for each branch of the military is played, members who have served in that branch are asked to rise and be recognized and applauded.

Our band has also provided patriotic music for the Ohio Veterans Memorial Park’s Memorial Day Observation. After the lengthy parade in Clinton, OH ends, a large audience (usually about 300 people) gathers to further remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. An important part of the ceremony is when all veterans assemble in a circle around the huge flagpole and pass the wreath from one to another until it reaches the end and is then placed near the Vietnam Veterans monument, a 125-foot polished black granite wall with the names of 3,095 Ohioans lost during the Vietnam War. What an honor to participate in such an important event!

Here is an orchestral piece performed by some young musicians in Australia. I thought the string players might especially enjoy it. It is entitled Little Blue Train by Stefan Karpiniec.
