On July 4, 2019, AYLUS members played a special Fourth of July concert at Autumn Leaves of Pearland, an assisted living memory care facility that specially accommodates seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
High school band students rehearsed and performed from 12 to 3 pm, bringing joy and patriotism in their music. They played a variety of patriotic songs and music familiar to the seniors, including “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “God Bless America,” and more. The seniors and activity directors greatly enjoyed the music and even sang along. These volunteers hope to return and establish a performance routine in the coming months. The concert was great and couldn’t have succeeded without everyone’s hard work and participation. Thank you to every volunteer and to Autumn Leaves for allowing us to perform!
