The Shire Bands

Established in 2012, the Shire New Horizons Band features adult learners and ‘comeback players’ returning to instruments learned earlier in life. Due to its popularity with new members, the big band has outgrown several venues, including nursing homes and smaller ceremonies. Foundation funds will supply new sheet music and collateral to create smaller ensembles, ensuring the gift of music is available to all sections of the community in a range of styles.
