> Through 'Joyful Noise Senior Sing-a-long' we provide them a musical outlet.  They request the songs they love, we edit them into a video with the music and words, then we take our handheld instruments and make a Joyful Noise.  Over the last 2 years we've seen people sing who can't speak, husbands and wives dance for the first time in years, and  those in wheelchairs tapping their feet, clapping their hands, and smiling.
