Hold weekly 2.5 hour chorus rehearsals April through December, except in July, for some 70 members of the Plymouth Rockers. Perform 21 private sing-outs for senior audiences, as well as four public performances: outdoor summer concerts at the Plymouth Hilde Center and Minnesota State Fair, as well as a Spring Concert in May and Holiday Concert in December at the Wayzata Central Middle School. Attendance at rehearsals is not required, but we do take attendance and expect to see at least 45 members at every rehearsal. We estimate we will bring live music to over 800 seniors, many of whom are home bound in our private sing-outs as well as some over 2,000 folks of all ages at our four public concerts.
Members: during 2017, 65 seniors from all around the metro area benefitted from rehearsing and performing for their peers and for larger audiences. Seniors in assisted living: performing at 24 senior living venues, we brought the joy of music and demonstrated to our peers that seniors CAN and DO. General public: our public concerts earned rave reviews and $4,000 in free-will offerings.
