Founded in 1995, the Desert Foothills New Horizons Band (DFNHB) is a non-profit organization which encompasses players at all levels of musical ability. Some are complete beginners; others have not played an instrument since high school; still others have played all their lives. No auditions are required to join, and members come from all corners of the Valley, although they must be at least 50 years of age.
This opportunity offers an exciting challenge for seniors to expand their musical knowledge and skills under the direction of Ron Phillips is a retired music educator and was chairman of the Music Department of Grand Canyon University.

From time to time small ensembles get together to perform as and when a specific need arises. We even have our own solo and ensemble festival for those brave enough to share their talent. For the more adventurous, there are workshops and camps where musicians get the chance to travel to picturesque parts of the country, to meet other New Horizons members and to expand their musical experiences.
