“I’m Just Glad You Didn’t Sing Frozen”
…said Elsa, an unsuspecting nurse on the elevator when the Nashville Music Medics sang “The Elsa Song” to her during our August 14 visit to The Children’s Hospital at TriStar Centennial. We were on our way out, when we stepped into the elevator and started singing to Elsa. We have a tendency to quickly focus on name badges! The elevator stopped but we still had more song to sing! To her embarrassment, Elsa was greeted by quite a few visitors in the waiting area, many filming the Music Medics singing to her. In addition to all of this silliness we were so pleased to have met and greeted Morgan, the new CCLS on board to help ease the load on Sydnie’s shoulders.
That was just part of the fun and rewarding day we had at Centennial Children’s Hospital. It was nice to have a chance to air our music again as we sang to the crowd gathered around on the upper floors of the Atrium. There we had a chance to sing to Abbie Messick, HCA Healthcare Marketing. She was surprised when we serenaded her; photos and selfies resulted!
We sang to quite a few children, however two in particular really made our day.
We sang to a young man, who at first appeared to be unhappy about our arrival and singing to him. After a few minutes he was smiling and wiggling his feet to the beat of the music, especially our “Name Song” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. Of course the parents were well pleased.
At our next stop, we met a beautiful young lady who was very active in choral music at Gallatin HS. Her name was Lilly and I made an instant connection with her once I told her I had a granddaughter named Lilly. She even played along with our silly Dad Jokes. She said she was going to tell her music teacher all about us. Don’t know what that means. We’ll just have to wait and see! We just never know what may happen.
To top off the day, the Medics also welcomed Alden Vine to the fold in his official scrubs. He’s already made an impact with his singing, his photos, his anticipatory pitch pipe prowess and just an all around great attitude towards our mission and what we do. Welcome Alden!
Such is life in the Nashville Music Medics!
