Allegro Senior Living, July 15, 2015
The students were
a big hit! Allegro Senior Living is a very new
establishment and the students were the first entertainment booked. The students were very well-received and have
been invited back. The director is in
support of inter-generational activities and agrees this is an excellent fit
for the band and Allegro. Most likely,
Allegro will become a regular gig for The Bridge Project.
