ABOUT OUR BAND

Cascade Horizon Band is a 60-member concert band that plays a wide variety of musical selections, from Bach to blues, jazz, marches, pop songs, Broadway tunes and movie themes.

Central Oregon is an active area that finds many of its residents involved in all manner of pastimes. For most of us, this means making music in a group experience for perhaps the first time since school years. Regardless of previous musical background and levels of ability, all are welcome. We offer the opportunity for members to study and grow musically while enjoying rehearsing and performing with others.

Some of our members formed smaller ensembles playing to differenct audiences. This spirit is reflected by the Alleycats, The Back Row, Mem’ry Makers and The Notables Swing Band. Some of the CHB musicians also perform with other local music organizations. Links to their websites are located in the column on the left.

The inspirational story of CHB has been repeatedly featured in the local newspaper. Here are links to two in particular, including some members’ personal stories. See Bend Bulletin June 5, 2012 and Bend Bulletin January 12, 2010.

CHB offers approximately 4 concerts a year in the Central Oregon area. Admissions are free but donations are gladly accepted. In additional to membership dues paid by all of our musicians, your donations help to cover our expenses and allow us to donate to offer scholarship to local music talents. We would not be able to do what we do without your generous support.

Regular rehearsals are held on Tuesdays at the Mountain View High School where you will be welcomed by a group of adults to share their love of music and to play in a band setting. You are invited to check us out during any of our rehearsals.
