The North Colonie Music Department has announced that this year’s grade 5 winter concerts will not be in-person events. While we would love to have an audience of parents there to applaud our young musicians, the 5th grade chorus takes up most of the space with distancing required by COVID regulations. To share the students’ accomplishments with you, the music teachers are planning to video-record virtual concerts of the 5th grade Band, Chorus, and Orchestra during the school day, and send these home to families. These will happen around the timing of what would have been the winter concert dates in January.
