SBD, Silent but Disco
August 18th, 2017
American Heart Association of CNY Go Red Silent Disco Registration
The fountains and brick walkways of Hanover Square became a dance floor during the Silent Disco party coordinated by the American Heart Association last night. The event featured DJ Bella J streaming three channels of music to participants in headphones (provided by SE 2 of Buffalo). The silence soon gave way to singing, clapping and shouts of joy. During the first hour of the program we saw a massive electric slide that consisted of mothers, daughters, colleagues and friends.
