(After) St. Patrick’s Day Recital 2017

As fitting for the harp, we had a St. Patrick’s Day service-oriented performance at a local assisted living facility. The facility where we played had an opening after St. Patrick’s Day, so we dressed in our green garb and had an after-St.-Patrick’s-Day performance, including harp, piano, and some sing-a-long songs!

There were just a small number of students at this performance….probably due to the combination of a possible communication error on my part and that it was during school time. Since we’re their guests, we have to work with the facility’s availability; I also believe that this is an educational opportunity to give to the community, and not all education takes place in the classroom (plus this is not an overly frequent thing). 🙂

The students who were there were lovely, and we even had a festive MC who led sing-a-longs in addition to announcing performers and songs. Of course I gabbed a little too. I also played a few tunes on the harp as well. It was a pretty informal performance, which is nice to have from time to time.

How about you? Have you ever had a recital that many of your students are unable to attend?

Lots of thanks to everyone who helped make this performance happen!
