It has been a privilege to direct the GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Handbell Choir this past spring session.\u00a0 Our team went out into the community to educate, bring smiles, and share our talents.\u00a0 The most common statement heard was, \u201cPlease come back again!\u201d\u00a0 After each performance, I asked the choir to go out into the audience, shake hands, and introduce themselves.\u00a0 In the beginning, this was awkward for some choir members to do.\u00a0 However, by the time we gave our last performance, there was no sign of this former hesitation.\u00a0 Our team went out into the audience with smiles, hands extended, and excitement on their faces.\u00a0 Looking forward to a wonderful fall\/winter session as we go out into the community during the Christmas season!<\/p>\n

What a unique opportunity this program was thank you to our wonderful volunteer Rose Marie! Our participants discovered a new love for music and new confidence performing in front of large crowds. This program consisted of sign language to the song What a Wonderful World and color coded music for the handbell portion. A few of our participants played two handbells, two different colors. We love exposing our friends to new activities, while they are fun, they are also purposeful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
