May 29: FREE Information Day - 9 a.m. at the Navy Club 24 Whitla St, Peterborough to find out more about our instruments and how PNHB works.
We are more than 220 music-and-fun-loving members of all ages who play together in five concert bands. We play a wide variety of music on brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
We welcome newcomers with whatever level of musical experience they have, and even those who have never read a musical note or played any instrument. There is a place for everyone and we will find it for you.
Our green band welcomes those with little or no musical experience, those whose musical skills are a little rusty and those who would like to learn to play a new instrument. Graduates of Green Band and those with prior musical experience are members of one (or more) of our other four bands.
Each band is led by one or two of our five fun loving and experienced conductors. As well, coaches work with our members in smaller groups, usually once every two weeks - more often with Green Band members.
All bands perform in concerts in early June and December. Smaller groups (ensembles) perform at community events, in residential homes and in schools.
