About five years ago, we began volunteering regularly at local senior or assisted living communities and rehabilitation centers. We do not seek to perform so much as to provide an interactive musical experience to the residents of these facilities. To that end, our musicians play guitars or other instruments (for example, harmonica, mandolin or banjo) and we bring percussion instruments (tambourin
es, bells, maracas) for residents to play rhythm. In addition, the Bojanglers supply songbooks so that our singers, residents and caretakers can sing together. Our songbook typically includes classic folk and Americana songs during most of the year and Christmas carols during the holiday season. It is a wonderful experience for the residents of the facilities we visit, but a truly an unforgettable one for the Bojanglers because of the connection we share with the audience through music. During the short holiday season our goal is to schedule two events per week. We always welcome new singers and/or facilities to join in the fun. Please feel free to reach out to us and we will be happy to send more information about our friendly, informal and joyful group.
