Back to Sunrise!

Yesterday, we once again had to perform for the residents of Sunrise of Johns Creek. It's so great to see so many familiar faces, and we love catching up with the residents after.

We are so excited to have some band members join us at performances! Pablo and Joey, two wonderful alto saxophone players,  prepared some jazz classics for the residents, and they (and us string players) loved it. They've been doing an amazing job. It's fun to have them play and provide some variety and more familiar tunes for the residents to enjoy. 

This lovely lady loves to chat with us, and she teaches us so much. She always gives us wonderful insight on life and always has such a happy and optimistic attitude. It is always a pleasure to see her in the audience and listen to her stories after the performance. We can't wait to see her and the residents again!

Back to the Benton House!

Yesterday, we got to come back to perform at the Benton House. We brought a big crowd to the Benton House, and we had an equally large audience to play for. 

We started the program with some saxophone solos performed by Pablo! He always surprises us with something new to play, and it's great to be providing the residents with some variety in our program. We look forward to having more "band geeks" join us in performances in the future!

After our performance, we got to catch up with some of our favorite residents. It is so fun to see familiar faces in the crowd and get to chat with them. We hope that they love seeing us as much as we love seeing them! Some were so sweet to pose for a picture with us! 

We will be back to the Benton House on April 18th!

Cohen Home

Today was our first time at the Cohen Home this semester! We got to see some old faces and meet some new ones. Instead of our normal prepared program, we decided to have another impromptu recital. Our recurring guests Joey and Pablo joined us again with their saxophone duets and we played pieces by Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi, and we ended with a medley of Hanukkah songs to kick off our holiday season. Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend! Next performance we'll be starting our holiday program!
