Peninsula New Horizons Band Begins Fall Semester Sept. 29

The Peninsula New Horizons Band (PNHB) program was developed for adults who wish to learn to play a band instrument, or re-learn an instrument they used to play. Classes are fun and informal, and provide a nice opportunity to mix with like-minded adults who love band music and instruments.

For both new and current students, the Peninsula New Horizons Band fall semester kickoff is Sept. 29 at 6:30 pm at Bay View Lutheran in Sturgeon Bay. Students can pick up the semester’s music at this session and pay their fee. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.

Especially for new students, the kickoff event features a variety of different instruments to learn about and try. All students will be learning and playing woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments.

The Fall 2016 semester is eight weeks long. Lessons and classes are $10/week or $80 for the full semester, and held every Thursday from Oct. 6 through Dec. 1, 6:30-8:30 pm, at Bay View Lutheran in Sturgeon Bay. There are no classes on Thanksgiving.

Founding member Paula Eggert, music instructor for brass instruments and director of the Peninsula Symphonic Community Band, serves as the PNHB’s conductor. Co-founding member Kathy Krauss is the instructor for woodwind instruments.
