The Joyful Noise Singers were on the road a lot this summer bringing their singing talents to several area facilities. First, they sang patriotic songs at the VA Hospital in Lebanon, which had some of the veterans in tears by the end! Then they sang a complete set of familiar hymns at Countryside Christian Community in Annville. Those residents commented that they were so happy to hear hymns that they could sing along with. Then, just three days after that concert, the Joyful Noise Singers provided special music for Grace U.C.C., the home church for two of our choir members. Later that same week, they did an encore presentation of the hymns concert for the residents at Juniper Village. One resident in the audience commented that she thought it was their best performance ever! They do seem to improve with each performance, and they always seem to do better in the actual concert than they sound at practice! One singer was asked to put her autograph on the program when it was noted that she is a direct descendant of the famous hymn writer Fanny Crosby, who wrote one of the hymns that we sang. We are all looking forward to our next concert in November at Juniper Village: a Comedy Revue! We have also been asked to do a Christmas program at The Lebanon Senior Center in December, so we have a lot of practicing ahead of us, which this group seems to enjoy as much as the show!
