In starting a seniors choir there, Gareth wants not only to show that life does not end at retirement, but that seniors can start activities which they've never done before. But convincing many of them of the latter is difficult, as he does admit that most seniors are set in their ways. He does find that teaching old dogs new tricks is more difficult than he wanted, and as such he feels that he literally needs to inject a youthful spirit and presence into the process. Among his choristers are: eighty-one year old Lee, who used to sing but stopped twenty years ago when her husband died; and outwardly serious Gary, a resonant bass who talks himself out of being able to sing what he considers the high notes, but which Gareth has to show him is well within his range. The one person Gareth hopes will stay in the choir but that is wavering is ninety-four year old Alice, whose extroverted exterior masks a fear of performing. By performance time, Gareth realizes that not all will be perfect, but hopes that his choristers' memories will not wane. Through it all, he wants to show that starting an activity late in life is a beautiful thing, regardless of the performance. Written by Huggo See less
