Busy Weekend for Notes of Joy!

It was a weekend full of music and joy for Notes of Joy members and senior citizens at Sunrise of Johns Creek and Ivy Hall!

We loved and enjoyed every minute of it!

------------------------------------------ 

This past Saturday, December 8, we visited our friends at Sunrise of Johns Creek!

We had a blast playing our favorite holiday pieces!

We even had Jenny, Karen, and Lauren lead the senior citizens in singing along to some Christmas carols!!

Here are some pictures from our performance!

As much as we LOVE performing for such a wonderful audience, we always get super excited to talk with them afterwards and just have a good time!

Not only was this day made special because of great music, but also because it was the birthday of one of our members, Noah Johnson!  Happy 17th Birthday Noah!!  We love you!

After the performance, several Notes of Joy members went to Zaxby's with Noah to celebrate his

special day!

--------------------

Then, today, Sunday, December 9, we visited our friends at Ivy Hall, which is located almost directly in front of our high school!

We had a great time playing for such an appreciative audience!

Here are some pictures from our performance today!

You might notice the unique seating arrangement. 

We were tight on space, so we had to be creative! ;)

In addition to our usual holiday repertoire, we were all in for a special treat!

Noah Johnson played a solo today (Prelude of Bach Cello Suite No. 3), and it was absolutely breathtaking.

We finished our performance with "White Christmas" and as usual, quickly put our instruments down to talk with the senior citizens!

It really is such a blessing to have such a wonderful, appreciative audience!

This is why we all do what we do!

Oh, and we could not help but take a picture next to a beautiful Christmas tree at Ivy Hall! :)

We just want to thank all of the Notes of Joy members for an AMAZING 2012 Notes of Joy season.

We cannot wait for our next season next semester!

A special shoutout to all of the senior citizens at the various nursing homes for being SUCH a wonderful audience.  Your love and support are what keep us going! 

It is truly an honor and blessing to be able to serve those in our community with our music!

We hope each of you has a wonderful holiday season!!

P.S.-- If you're not doing anything this Friday evening, come out for a wonderful night of music at Johns Creek High School at 7:00 pm!

The Johns Creek Philharmonia Orchestra will be giving its preview concert for the International Midwest Clinic in Chicago!!
