NMF Hordaland is a regional unit under the Norwegian Music Band Association, which is Norway's largest voluntary cultural organization with approximately 60,000 members and over 1,600 music and drill bands spread throughout the country. The organization aims to promote the joy of music and community through training and competitions, and emphasizes a safe organizational and band culture with ethical guidelines.
An important initiative in NMF Hordaland is the Youth Promotion, which targets young people between the ages of 13 and 19. The organization offers various projects and activities for recruitment and inclusion, and works to contribute to social sustainability and public health in society. NMF Hordaland's vision is to make bands an attractive and accessible leisure activity for all age groups, and prioritizes tasks within competence development, member service, visibility and framework conditions.
