The popular senior band is composed of members in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, with a couple under that age. The band has played at several community events since forming a few years ago.

The band started when then 92-year-old Huntington Beach resident Sid Hallburn showed he could still tap dance to a crowd of hundreds during the Surf City's Got Talent competition in 2015.

Halburn contacted some young friends in their 80s who could play an instrument and Forever Yound was born. Photo:HBNewsFile2016
