Everyone is hustling and bustling during this chilly holiday season. Ok. COLD!! Not as cold as, say, Minnesota, but cold nevertheless.<br />
<br />
Busy too, is the band and the offshoot woodwind ensemble, Zephyr. We've been hard at work practicing Christmas carols to play in the area. Here is where you can find us!<br />
<br />
Tuesday, December 13, 11:30am: Zephyr will be playing Christmas music at the Hickory Soup Kitchen, 110 2nd St Pl SE, Hickory. We will be playing during the lunch rush so stop by for a listen and maybe leave a little something for the good folks at the Soup Kitchen.<br />
<br />
Wednesday, December 14, 10:00am: Abernethy Laurels 102 Leonard Ave, Newton (just off Hwy 16). The whole band will be there to play Christmas music for the residents of Abernethy Laurels. I'm sure they wouldn't mind you stopping by to listen and help them celebrate the season!<br />
<br />
On Saturday, December 17, we conclude our Christmas programs by playing holiday music during the annual free Community Breakfast at Augustana Lutheran Church in Hickory. Their address is 1523 16th St SE - they are located behind Office Max / across Hwy 70 from Chick-Fil-A. Breakfast is served from 7am - 10:00am and the band will begin playing sets around 8am. Come out for a nice, hot, FREE, breakfast and enjoy the holiday music.<br />
<br />
Wishing you Peace & Love and best wishes for a Merry Christmas!!đ<br />
<br />

Hard to believe we started out with seven members and now we have over 35! WOW!!! Plus, we still have room for more!<br />
<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their hard work, especially our director, Len Allman. Without him we would not be a band.<br />
<br />
I would also like to invite you - EVERYONE - to our 2nd Annual Public Concert. Admission is free and the concert will last about an hour. Please check out the details on the attached flyer.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining us, please feel free to comment here or contact me, Cynthia Summey, at thea21159@aol.com.<br />
<br />
LET THE MUSIC PLAY!!<br />

<br />
First, my sincerest apologies to the band members and to any out there who may be following. I did not realize that I had neglected this blog AND the Facebook page since December. I strive to do better from this point forward.<br />
<br />
This has been a good semester with many opportunities to play.<br />
<br />
<b> On February 24, </b>the band performed at the Tarlton Center at CVCC at a Black History Month event. This was a wonderful event and lots of fun learning a couple of new songs. <br />
<b> On March 3, </b>we had the opportunity to play for the local AARP chapter at First Baptist, Hickory.<br />
<b> April 29th </b>found us performing for the seniors group at St Andrews Lutheran Church.<br />
<br />
TODAY we were honored, once again, to perform at the CVMC Senior Resource Fair. We played two sets and even though we were competing with a rather loud waterfall and a not-so-loud television, folks came up and told us we sound great. A few even recorded a song or two.<br />
<br />
Next week we will be performing two concerts.<br />
<b> Monday, May 11, </b>we will be performing The Star Spangled Banner at the Crawdads game in Hickory. The game starts at 6:00pm so COME ON OUT and hear us!<br />
<b> Tuesday, May 12, </b>we will be playing for a meeting of the local Kiwanis Club.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, May 21, we will perform at our first ever PUBLIC concert. More on that in a separate post!<br />
<br />
STAY TUNED!<br />
<br />

<br />
Well, not officially. At least not at this writing. However, the heat is here as are the wonderful summer storms.<br />
<br />
With summer here, that means our Spring semester is officially over and we are more relaxed as we continue to meet off and on during the summer. <br />
<br />
Our last concert was at Valley Hills Mall for the Senior Resource Fair. We had a good turn out and a good time was had by all. <br />

<br />
Unfortunately, what was <b>supposed </b>to be our last concert, a few weeks later, ended up being canceled and we didn't know it until we got there. Never fear! Lemons to lemonade as they say. We all (well, most of us) went to lunch together and we had a great time visiting. It all works out if you let it!<br />
<br />
If you have a free Wednesday during the summer, stop by the SALT Block and check out our band. If you play (woodwind, brass, percussion), bring your instrument and sit in with us - regardless of your level of expertise. If you can't play - YET! - then just stop by and listen and have coffee and talk with us. There is no cost to the summer "session" and we'd love to see you! 9am - 11:30am Wednesdays.<br />
<br />
<b>HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!</b><br />

Rediscovering a long-lost interest<br /><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">By Mary Canrobert<span class="published" title="2014-02-18T22:33:20Z"><br />Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014</span></span></span></h1>
<div class="entry-content">
As this month of love closes, a final Valentine story about a
man who put aside his affection for playing the French horn when his
heart wanted only one thing: the hand of a pretty girl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvBKDK4Db2hVhT05Bn7LKOT6cEwy0R82sKxgLXcjm7rJ4ZDwaTTGEOGqYZ5O66bKAr0lsHcMfgsmdMgoybxh1C82QQ5QicVOqQieA35_8Tf-lByZNNJX31puj8nK8RoE1OeFyIT1Y3Wb0/s1600/Mr+&+Mrs+Wade+Hamp+Shuford.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvBKDK4Db2hVhT05Bn7LKOT6cEwy0R82sKxgLXcjm7rJ4ZDwaTTGEOGqYZ5O66bKAr0lsHcMfgsmdMgoybxh1C82QQ5QicVOqQieA35_8Tf-lByZNNJX31puj8nK8RoE1OeFyIT1Y3Wb0/s1600/Mr+&+Mrs+Wade+Hamp+Shuford.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
Decades later, his lovely lady is gone, but his interest in
playing in a band has returned, having patiently waited in the wings for
more than a half-century. The urge to renew his acquaintance with his
brass friend offers the man a new challenge and a means to help fill the
void in his life. <br />
<br />
After 62 years of marriage, Wade âHampâ Shuford of Hickory lost
his beloved Joanne White Shuford in May. In the fall, with the help of
Western Piedmont Symphony Conductor John Gordon Ross, who allowed
Shuford to borrow a WPS French horn, Shuford began playing with the
Catawba Valley New Horizons Band. <br />
<br />
Shuford hadnât played since his days as a student at Catawba
College. The reason? He sold his French horn in 1951 to buy Joanne an
engagement ring.<br />
<br />
Shuford said he and Joanne met at Hickory High School, but they
didnât date until Shuford was at Catawba College, majoring in Spanish
and French and Joanne was at Salem College studying home economics. âI
invited her to a dance at Catawba College while she was at Salem,â said
Shuford. âShe reciprocated.â Shuford said he and Joanne âstarted dating seriouslyâ when
Shuford was working on a masterâs degree at UNC Chapel Hill. Love
bloomed, and Shuford was ready to pop the question. He didnât have the
cash for a ring, but he did have a valuable French horn. âAt the time,
it was not hard to part with the horn,â Shuford recalled. <br />
<br />
The couple wed in 1951, followed by Shufordâs enlistment in the
Air Force. The Korean War was in full swing, but Shuford remained
stateside, âdoing psychological testing of pilots,â he said. Shuford left the Air Force four years later and attended Austin
Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Texas. âI didnât want to preach,â
said Shuford, who trained to be a director of Christian education.<br />
The couple eventually settled in Hickory.<br />
<br />
âMy real career was Christian education,â said Shuford. âChurch
camping, Sunday school teaching, and so forth.â Even while giving the
business world a try, Shuford was working as recreation director at a
United Church of Christ camp, Johnâs River Valley in Collettsville, in
Caldwell County. âAltogether (in my career), I worked at four camps,â said Shuford.<br />
<br />
When Shuford talked about his mother, Nora Allgood Shuford, it
was clear from whom heâd inherited his passions. Nora was a graduate of
Flora MacDonald College (now defunct) in Red Springs, N.C., where she
studied music and French. She later became a piano teacher. âShe was 18 years younger than Dad,â said Shuford, who was an
only child. âShe was 38. He was 56. I was lucky to get here.â Nora
insisted that Shuford study piano and voice, and she bought him a
mellophone. âItâs a starter for a French horn,â Shuford explained.<br />
<br />
Also influencing Shufordâs future interests were the friendships
he developed with older neighbors. As a teen, Shuford visited an elderly
woman who, it turned out, maintained a still in her basement. âShe gave
me a taste more than once,â Shuford admitted. The clandestine activity
ended when the distillery exploded and the womanâs house burned down.<br />
<br />
Since 1983, Shuford has been an Adult Life Programs volunteer. In
Hickory and Conover, Shuford serves seniors who participate in the
adult day care. âOne of my missions is to help older folks adjust to the
vicissitudes of lifeâs changing values and that dirty word,
âtechnology,â â Shuford said.<br />
<br />
Now, after a long separation from band membership, Shuford is
becoming reacquainted with the French horn. âI had to relearn the
fingering,â he said. Depending on his progress, Shuford may decide to
buy a horn. In the meantime, heâll keep practicing on his WPS loaner.<br />
<br />
The Catawba Valley New Horizons Band âis a great group for folks
over 55,â said Shuford, whoâs 85. âYou donât have to know how to play an
instrument. They will teach you.â <br />
<br />
Thanks to New Horizons Band, Shufordâs enjoying something few people experience: a return to one of the joys of youth. <br />

<br />
Did you use to play in your high school and/or college band but haven't played in years? 30? 40? 50?<br />
<br />
<b>WELCOME TO THE CATAWBA VALLEY NEW HORIZONS BAND!</b><br />
<br />
A couple of decades ago, founder Roy Ernst started New Horizons Music. What started off as a small group has now reached around the world! There are so many chapters that there HAS to be one near YOU! Find your local chapter (if you are not near us) at http://www.newhorizonsmusic.org/ <br />
<br />
For the question/answer page, follow this link: http://www.newhorizonsmusic.org/faqs/faqs.html<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>ABOUT OUR LOCAL CHAPTER - Hickory, NC</u></b></div>
<br />
<b>BEGINNINGS</b><br />
Our band was started in 2009 by our director Leonard "Len" Allman, through the ASU Higher Education program "Prime Life Ed-Ventures." The programs (outings, workshops, etc) were geared toward those 50 (who retired early or weren't working for whatever reason) and older in order to stay active and to have a social network. HOWEVER! Whatever your age, if you have Wednesday mornings free and want to play in the band, we don't card!<br />
<br />
While Prime Life Ed-Ventures is no more, we are pleased to have recently partnered with The Service League of Hickory! (http://www.serviceleaguehickory.org/)<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT US</b><br />
Our band began with just 7 members (4 still active with us!) with varying degrees of music knowledge. Today we have 26 active members and we all still have varying degrees of music knowledge. Some have had to learn to read music. Some could read music but were/are learning a new instrument. There is room in our band for everyone. Even those with ZERO musical experience.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>OUR MOTTO: "Your Best Is Good Enough!"</b></div>
<br />
A couple (3?) years ago, Len started an orchestra as there were those who were interested in playing a string instrument. The same creed applies to the orchestra. No experience necessary and Your Best Is Good Enough. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>REHEARSALS/PERFORMANCES</b></u></div>
<br />
<b>BAND: </b>The band rehearses at the Arts & Science building of the SALT Block in Hickory (243 Third Avenue NE Hickory NC, 28601) at 9am on Wednesdays. We rehearse from 9-11:30 with a 30 minute coffee break beginning at 10am. Coffee is provided along with homemade (and store bought!) goodies from members. This is where we visit and get to know one another.<br />
<br />
<b>ORCHESTRA: </b>The orchestra rehearses at the same place, same day, but from 1pm - 3:30pm<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining our group, please stop by any Wednesday morning. The entrance is in the back (facing the library) and is the door at the small loading dock (there are two other entrances in the back which are handicap accessible). Everyone will welcome you and be glad to answer any questions you may have. You may come in at 9am to listen and then visit with us during break staying as long as you like, or if you'd rather, wait and come in at 10am for coffee/visiting and then stay to hear us practice.<br />
<br />
If you would like more information before visiting us, contact Len Allman at 828-322-8778. If no answer, please leave a message.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to seeing you in the band (or orchestra)!<br />

<br />
Everyone reading this should "get" that greeting.<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Catawba Valley New Horizons Band Blog. It has been awhile since I last updated as I have been using our Facebook page. However, most of our members do not have Facebook and so I am going to work more diligently on keeping the "web" page updated.<br />
<br />
I'm going to gear this post toward current members. I will post again, shortly, a more information type post for those not in the band and who might be interested in joining us. <br />
<br />
<br />
As you know, last Wednesday, January 22, was our Information Session for the Spring Quarter. Press releases were issued and all of you worked on inviting friends to come in and listen, have coffee/snacks, try instruments, ask questions, etc. However, with the biting, frigid temperatures, only one prospective member made it to the session. :-D Thank you, Benny, for braving the cold. We were all glad to meet you and hope you will join us!<br />
<br />
As most of us were there, all dressed up in our new green CVNHB shirts (with most of
us adding layers underneath!), it was decided to take a picture. Thank you Dick & Regina for having the forethought to bring your camera. We not only got a great picture (the picture you see as the cover on this blog) but our visitor, Benny, took the picture. We will definitely try again so that those of you who were MIA this week can be in the picture - along with our newest member. Chances are slim that we will ever have a picture with everyone but we'll keep trying. <br />
<br />
Our Spring Quarter officially begins this Wednesday, January 29. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Place.<br />
<br />
(Did you know, not counting our unofficial summer practices, this will be our TENTH quarter/session!? Thank you Len for your patience and putting up with our shenanigans!)<br />

It's been a lot of hard work, yet a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
To wind up our last two weeks of the season, we will be performing. What a way to end! :-)<br />
<br />
Wednesday, April 25, 10:30am - East Hickory Seniors Morning Out at Highland Methodist Church, Hickory<br />
<br />
Wednesday, May 2, 10:30am - Hickory Manor Assisted Living, Sandy Ridge Road, Hickory<br />
<br />
<br />
During the summer, those interested will be meeting on Wednesday mornings, 9am, at the SALT Block. There is no fee, and no dedicated conductor/director. Very informal time but most of the members do not want to take a 3 month break - so we don't! There are no performances during this time but we will back and ready to play for you after Labor Day.<br />
<br />
If you have a Senior Adult ministry, please contact us. We would love to play for YOU!<br />

Here is the note in its entirety:<br />
<br />
"Greetings,<br />
<br />
We, RPM Wood Finishes Group, want to hank you for your beautiful service and music. The presentation was great and we are blessed to have been able to share that with you all. We hope this is the start of a great relationship!<br />
<br />
Again, we thank you and Merry Christmas.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
RPM Community Service"<br />
<br />
Juliann Albers (from RPM) also mentioned in an email to me that us "<tt>taking time out of their schedules and doing such a wonderful job...The residents really enjoyed your music and one in particular directed from the back of the room. Good thing you didn't play any rock and roll...don't think you could have kept her contained."</tt><br />
<br />
I think we all know who that was - she was precious! Here are some pictures they sent:<br />

Our program was all Christmas tunes. Today we had the honor of playing for the residents of Abernethy Laurels in Newton. The program was a mixture of Patriotic tunes and Christmas tunes, but mostly Christmas. I don't know who enjoys these performance more - the residents or us! As much as we enjoyed it, there sure was a lot of clapping, foot tapping, and singing going on in the audience. It was heart warming. We were truly as blessed by them as they were us.<br />
<br />
Wednesday's (today) performance marks the end of the Fall/Winter season for the band. The season began in September and ran for 15 weeks. Our next session, Winter/Spring, will start off with an information session on Wednesday, January 11. This is where anyone interested in joining the band can come and get all the particulars and even hear us play. The full season starts on Wednesday, January 18. Come Join Us!! <br />

Many thanks to each and every band member for all of your hard work. Attending rehearsals, performances, and all the home practicing.<br />
<br />
Thank you for those who helped direct during the optional "on our own" summer session, to Ronnie Hawkins who jumped in and directed during our director's recent injury, to Pat Jenkins who keeps the coffee coming, and to everyone who brought goodies to go with that coffee. <br />
<br />
A very, very special thank you to our director, Leonard Allman, who even through a recent injury, just keeps on going. Thank you Len for your patience and diligence. <br />
<br />
Wishing each and every one a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!<br />

I'm not quite happy with how I have to post band news on Facebook so I've been in search of something else. Something that will allow everyone access without having to go through Facebook. I'm hoping I've found it. If videos cannot be posted here, this will not work either. Or maybe it will. I can post them to a secure channel on You Tube and then post the link here. Always a work in progress.<br />
