Today COHS Advanced Choral Ensemble rode a Charter bus around the community to 10 different nursing homes and elementary schools to spread holiday cheer. The spectrum of audience members could not have been more large--we caroled to "those from 1 to 92." We sang several carols and were met with so many compliments, smiles, and even tears of joy. It was a long day, as we sang from sun up to sun down, but it was worth it. Something about singing connects me to the community like nothing else does because it allows me to bring a smile to the face of a man with Alzheimer's or a boy in the 2nd grade. Everyone we sang to was so grateful for us sharing our talent and seasons greetings for the holidays.
