The Choirs will have a concert at 6:15pm and the Bands will have their concert at 7:30pm. Due to Covid regulations, we are providing 3 tickets/student for the concert they are performing in. Tickets were sent home last week with all students. Families will need to sit together in their households and will be separated by seats from others. Both of these concerts will also be live-streamed for those who are unable to attend or who feel more comfortable watching from home. The link will be emailed a day before the concert.</p><p>Proof of vaccinations with identification will be required for entry as per SHA guidelines. Due to this requirement, please plan on arriving early and being seated 5 minutes prior to the start times. </p><p>Choir students will meet in the Student Commons at 5:30pm. Band students will meet at 7pm with the Junior Band in the Band room and the Senior Band in the library. Students are to wear 'dressy' black so we would like students to wear black pants, black socks, black shoes and black shirts. </p><p>Thank you so much for your continued support of the Sheldon-Williams Music Department. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either of us and we will do our best to answer them.</p><p>See you on December 8th!</p><p>Sarah Keefe (Choral Director) and Brady Frank (Band Director)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5HHvj72SHIvE3PP4lKdns6dTFq0UQ_eGKZ7Fdm3Qoysq-rz0ORSff2kJZju_cbNXrXnUG80BCcrYlG2URBF8xa8eHMv_FrYY9zrGDo-QUD3fbmNwoZ4xl8Rj5Fbm4FTTicSmESqXesuLLhsdqLVVJiAkw8qYmtrQ9H6l8JxIqpq-irefA7x8Qe697=s900" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="900" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5HHvj72SHIvE3PP4lKdns6dTFq0UQ_eGKZ7Fdm3Qoysq-rz0ORSff2kJZju_cbNXrXnUG80BCcrYlG2URBF8xa8eHMv_FrYY9zrGDo-QUD3fbmNwoZ4xl8Rj5Fbm4FTTicSmESqXesuLLhsdqLVVJiAkw8qYmtrQ9H6l8JxIqpq-irefA7x8Qe697=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>SWAMPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07373595340556553223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987898169047338153.post-16418718670808710892021-09-10T06:49:00.000-07:002021-09-10T06:49:43.304-07:00Back to School 2021-2022<p> Welcome Sheldon Williams Music Families!
