About us
Our Beginning
The Cascade Horizon Community Band (CHCB) began in Bend, Oregon over 20 years ago as the Cascade Horizon Band with 12 musicians. The New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) to which CHCB belongs, was created to bring seniors into or back to music. CHCB was the 65th of over 250 bands to join. NHIMA was instrumental to the development of our band.
We continue that affiliation.
Today
The Cascade Horizon Community Band is a no audition concert band for musicians of all levels and ages. We have grown to over 60 members with musicians from beginners to professionals. We play a wide variety of musical selections from Bach to Blues, Marches, Pop Songs, Broadway and Movie Themes. CHCB performs free public concerts to share the joy of music with our community.
We support our Central Oregon young musicians
For over 20 years we have awarded the $1,000 Marilyn Burkholder Band Scholarship to a college bound senior student who is currently enrolled in a concert band program. The recipient performs at our Spring Concert.
