Harmony's 2020 Music Parade
Being separated during quarantine was hard on everyone, including our Harmony clients and staff members. What we thought was going to be a couple of months turned into more than a year of being separated and isolated.
Harmony's wonderful and amazing staff member, Samantha Bridwell facilitated a social distanced music parade made up of our stellar and kind-hearted volunteer musicians, and went to each one of our Harmony client's homes and stood outside in their yard to share music, joy, happiness and social connection from a safe distance. Everyone's spirits were lifted and hearts were blessed. The music parade offered a glimmer of hope during a time when social connection was needed more than ever.
