The Orange Man SongsBINGO Past & Present

Enjoyed!

During the week of festivities, Wilhelmus provided the bingo for the senior citizens in our village. It was a very pleasant and swinging afternoon! Everyone was very enthusiastic and went home very satisfied. Wilhelmus thank you very much!

He did very well!

Wilhelmus did his best to put everyone at ease. He has a calm demeanor which fits well with a Santa Claus. He offered to sing with a splash screen, which we found very generous. I noticed that the residents really enjoyed themselves, and that's the most important thing!

It was awesome!

Thank you very much! For a sick friend who is in bed a lot in her room, we were looking for something nice. A nice moment, for a laugh, a sunshine, so to speak. We came up with the idea of a serenade. And so we thought of you How nice that from the idea to the execution, you were enthusiastic In the idea, in the thinking, and in the execution.

THANK YOU for the beautiful afternoon and making ALL the residents shine

When the Wilhelmus The Orange Man comes, something happens. The ladies who normally don't want to "work" are now sitting at the front and cut as if their lives depended on it. Even gentlemen help to decorate! And when everything hangs and everyone is seated, you feel the great atmosphere from the first note. Nothing should be everything. Everyone enjoys, sings along & is invited to tell his/her story. A true party to see & feel how The Orange Man feels & joins the residents in the experience. Wilhelmus it was again an honor to welcome you in our courtyard garden.

Like I said, you've made everyone enjoy themselves!

Last Wednesday was the day, you came to us in this special, bizarre time performing. with your guitar and mobile sound system you were able to reach our residents in various places. Everything now at a distance but still you were so close! that's mainly the feeling what was there. Big but intimate. We did set you a challenge: On the sidewalk of the 24 residents of the Ruyterstraat and later in the courtyard garden surrounded by residents. Unexpectedly we were asked if you could do a private serenade by the window of a lady who was lying on the bed. she had heard you in the garden but couldn't see you. How beautiful and sensitive it was that you sang to her while she looked at you with a big smile from her bed. To serenade again on the pavement in front of the windows of no less than 10 living rooms. Thanks a lot and we'll see you next time because your warm voice, your fine personality makes us want to see you again!

on behalf of my mother and all the spectators Thank you!

With your performance you've completed the party for my 86 year old mother. She was overwhelmed by all the attention, and didn't expect her birthday to be such a success. So great that all friends, family and local residents could enjoy the party. Also the seniors who had been inside their room in Huize in de Wei for weeks, were outside again for the first time on May 4, and were immediately presented with a beautiful performance by you. SUPPER SUPER SUPER... here and there a tear and a lump in the throat.... 1000 thanks for the beautiful performance, it was a party!

Fantastic

The kids loved it! It was exactly what I was looking for. Clown Snorre is a nice man!

With our Lionsclub Zeist ter Bergen, we presented a festive afternoon/evening program as part of Blue Monday 100 elderly people. Wilhelmus the Orange man plays a major role in this by his striking appearance and contagious enthusiasm. We call this activity "A Day To Never Forget" and thanks to the Orange Man we certainly succeeded!

ilhelmus is really making it a party

What a great New Year's Eve we celebrated with Wilhelmus the Orange Man! A room full of enthusiastic residents, family and guests from the village enjoyed the songs bingo. Wilhelmus really makes it a party because of the wonderful sing-alongs and interaction with the guests!

We are already looking forward to the Christmas song bingo next year!

Monday the 2nd of December our residents enjoyed the Sinterklaas Liedjes bingo conducted by Wilhelmus, or Orange Man. What a great afternoon it was, and nice that quiz questions in between and movies on the beamer, that finished it all.

What a nice party you can throw

During our VONK dinner with 100 elderly people and 100 children you knew how to touch everyone and keep the atmosphere there. Nothing is too crazy and a polonaise with this mixed audience was the icing on the cake!

Really another BINGO!!!

What a great afternoon yesterday for our residents! Today they still talk about how beautiful the songs were sung, the super cozy cheerful atmosphere and the nice singing along was To be repeated! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this beautiful and unforgettable evening!

By participating in a winning action of the dementia shop, we had won a Liedjesbingo by Wilhelmus de Oranjeman. Wilhelmus found our motivation outstanding: "Fun, laughing together and singing together creates a connection and togetherness. At the same time, memories can be retrieved and especially valuable memories can be made for family members" Tuesday evening the 13th of November was finally there and all residents of Rijserf enjoyed a festive evening. The whole evening was on the theme of Orange. We gave the Warm Heart (restaurant) an Orange decoration. Also everyone was asked to wear or wear something orange. One inhabitant had been so fanatic that she had made a nice orange bow tie for the other occupants because they didn't have any oranges. Thanks to a donation from Vrienden van Avoord we were able to provide everyone all evening with a nice orange cake with coffee and various snacks and drinks. The prices of the Song Bingo were donated by the staff and they also volunteered to help with the service. Family members, co-inhabitants and staff members helped each other and had a great evening together. How beautiful it was to see that the Oranjeman managed to involve everyone in singing familiar songs and had real personal contact with everyone on his or her level. For example, a resident spontaneously put on a Rock-'n-roll wig that was handed to him and sang along through the microphone. People clapped along, sang along, and even danced by the resident and staff member. Nice to see that the residents who are already further in their dementia also really enjoyed and recognized the music. We even learned something on this evening. We now know in which place the harbour is from the song: "There in that little café at the harbour". Afterwards many a resident wanted to take a picture with the Oranjeman and he got a hand and sometimes even a kiss! Many people asked if this evening could be repeated on a regular basis because it was very pleasant and as someone said: "Wilhelmus can also sing very beautifully, I sometimes forgot it was a bingo". How beautiful it is when even a night shift in the middle of the night is told by a resident what a pleasant evening this had been and that it was enjoyed so much I can recommend Wilhelmus to others. On our evening 2 colleagues from another care institution were visiting. They wanted to see if he was something for their institution. They were very enthusiastic and both were of the opinion that it is certainly worth the cost to hire him. The contact with the Oranjeman was very pleasant and it is clear to see that the performance is given with great pleasure and commitment. Wilhelmus,

Very nice how you appealed to people personally

What a party the Alzheimercafe in Huizen was because of your warm and enthusiastic performance! In the end everyone was singing along at the top of their voices, even the people who were a bit shy/waiting at first. It was beautiful how you were able to speak to people in between and how you were able to touch them personally. Awesome!
