The Benefits of Music Education

Music plays an important role in the development of children from the sounds of the first lullaby. It enters a child's life from experience in the family, from the media, as part of religious worship, in the school curriculum, and in play. In addition to its enormous social value, research suggests that music is important for intellectual development. Current research shows the following benefits of music education:

  • It has been shown to raise self-esteem and promote creativity.
  • Studies show that high school band musicians score higher on college preparatory exams.
  • Learning to play a musical instrument helps students develop faster physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
  • Studying music improves students listening and concentration skills.
  • Creative thinking skills are improved.
  • Children learn concepts easier when music is part of the curriculum.

Band Fans Organization

The Band Fans Parent Organization is proud to present the 4th Annual "Playing for the PRIDE" golf tournament to benefit the Horizon High School "Pride Regiment" Marching Band. The Band Fans Parent Organization is a 501-c-3 not for profit organization that is dedicated to have music education positively influence the lives of our children.
Recent federal, state and local budget reductions have dramatically reduced the music programs in our schools. The Band Fans seek to establish an annual event in which major fundraising can be achieved to ensure that current, and future, students have the resources and financial support to sustain the "PRIDE'S" momentum!

Horizon Pride Regiment

Since its inception, over 2200 students have participated in and have been recognized with ratings of Excellent and Superior for their performance in competitions throughout the State and Southwest.
