Instrumental Music Talent Showcase
Horizon’s Band Fans Parent Organization staged its first annual Student Talent Showcase on April 20, 2011, under the stars in the quad at Horizon High School. A number of musicians from Horizon’s instrumental music program performed solo and ensemble acts ranging from classical to modern, orchestral to indie rock, on acoustic and electric instruments. The event was a great first-year success, and we look forward to making this an annual tradition.
