This site is actually quite hard on the performers. That is why we usually advertise this performance as a .veterans performance.. Nevertheless, anyone can come as long as they are aware that there will be difficulties. The patients are usually in very serious mental and physical conditions and may interrupt performances. The key to performing here is to keep on performing no matter what is going on, because the rest of the room is enjoying your music despite the hustle and bustle. The residents of Vernon Hall truly appreciate our music. Sign Up!
