There were nine group songs, plus three songs featuring our brand new bell choir. Five soloists rounded out the program, including residents Paul, Phyllis and Donald, Gloria’s daughter Dannie on the flute and whistle, and our director Joe doing an Elvis number. Even our volunteers from E.A.R.S. (Ephrata Area Rehabilitation Services) helped with the bells, as they have been practicing with us for months. All of the songs were from popular movies, except for our last number, which featured our ringers, singers, and even the audience for three choruses of “America, the Beautiful”. The final words are still resonating with us: “Let Freedom Ring”, while everyone shook their bells with great enthusiasm!
