Eleven new members joined the project in 2014. Six additional performances at new venues were added to the schedule over 2013 with seven free or reduced fees. The new venues in 2014 increase the number of audience members by 12%. Staff at several residences noted many patients who were usually quiet showed a response to the sing along format by singing or just tapping their toes. The director worked with all members of the project to improve breathing and diction which greatly improved the group’s sound thereby making a much better performance. 100% of venues asked us to return in 2015.
