Wonderful Performance Today at Ivy Hall!

This afternoon, we went to Ivy Hall Senior Living for one of our best performances yet!

We also showed off our new "Notes of Joy" t-shirts for the first time!  :)

It was also one of our longest performances we've ever had, thanks to all the additions we made to our repertoire. We played three new pieces that the Johns Creek Orchestra will be performing at the International Midwest Clinic in Chicago this December. Such additions included Skip to My Lou, Terra Nova, and an arrangement of The Trout. 

We didn't forget about our old favorites like Over the Rainbow, though! In fact, many of the residents sang along to several of the pieces that we performed, such as Over the Rainbow and Georgia on My Mind. We love having an interactive audience!

We especially loved reconnecting with our friends. As much as we love playing music for the residents, getting a chance to connect with them and talk to them is one of the most rewarding effects of Notes of Joy. It's what makes Notes of Joy so special to us.

We'd like to take this time to thank all of our members for dedicating their time to this activity. We know that as high school students, it's very hard to find extra time with so many extra-curriculars and so much homework. It is especially difficult to find time for other people. However, this dedicated group of students continuously choose to spend their weekends helping others in their community, and we commend them for that. Join us in thanking our members whenever you get a chance to see one of them. You can find a list of them under the "Members" tab up top. They truly are a special bunch.

Thanks for all your support.  Have a great week!
