In June, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) Hearts in Harmony Music Club, who are primarily middle and high school students, gathered at Route One Senior Daycare Center (2600 US-1, North Brunswick, NJ 08902), to put on a wonderful concert for a senior audience, bringing talent, charisma, and joy to the seniors.
During the concert, AYLUS invited around 10 of its members to put on a show, whether it be singing, dancing, or playing a musical instrument. During these performances, people have shown off their skills at the piano, violin, cello, and even traditional Chinese instruments such as the Chinese zither. Not only is performing at these shows a great volunteering opportunity, but it’s also a chance for teens to showcase their musical ability to a wider audience.
Everyone’s hard work eventually pays off during the performance, where both the performers and hosts can watch the seniors smile, clap, and experience the excitement of everyone’s musical talent.
GPA Hearts in Harmony Music Club leaders called for performers, assembled the music, designed a program flier, and brought in music stands and speakers.
AYLUS Volunteers before and after the performance (6/27, 5 hrs for all): Catherine You (host & performer), Jonina Hou (host & performer), Melanie You, Claire Wang, Dorothy Qi, Joana Hou
