 Ed & Mary NuccioFounders of the New Horizons Band of Colorado Springs (NHBCOS) Now in its 8th year, the 3rd year under the name NHBCOS and the 5 previous
under another name, the New Horizons Band of Colorado Springs has enjoyed almost
unmatched growth with 6 functioning bands and several chamber groups including the
very popular Jazz Trio. The goal of NHBCOS is to create an entry point to group
music-making for adult beginners and a comfortable re-entry point for adults who
played music in school and would like to resume after years of building careers and
raising children.

person who is the inspiration, the guiding light, and the driving force for
making it happen. Such is the case with the New Horizons movement,
