Hospitalized Grandma Missed School Musical, So Kids Bring Music to Her

Open heart surgery prevented Gladys Schell of Rochester Hills from seeing her grandson, Paul Coutilish, perform in a recent  musical.

So Paul and his friends brought a little music to her.

This week a group of eight student performers — all members of the Rochester Hills Barbershop Society, an after-school club formed at their high school — visited Schell in her recovery room at .

They performed two songs in Schell,'s room before strolling through the halls to serenade other patients and hospital staff.

Paul's mom, Teresa Coutilish, said the group is working on a potential service project for next year that would allow them to perform regularly for patients.
