Fitting Tribute

A trumpet quartet comprised of Madison New Horizons Band members Kathy, Mark, Bob, and Lorene honored a long-time member of our trumpet section when they played a moving rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone from the Rodgers and Hammerstein 1945 musical Carousel at his visitation. A well deserved honor,

2021 Holiday Concert

Our 2021 Holiday Concert was a huge success! We were honored to premier the Michael Leckrone work titled Arrythmia. The members of Hooked On Bands partnered with Ward-Brodt Music, the sponsor of our Madison New Horizons Band, to commission this work in 2019. The pandemic postponed its debut, but the wait made it that much more enjoyable to perform this wonderful piece before audience.
