Parents,
With thorough thought and consideration, we have decided that it is in the best interest of our FAME Magnet Arts program to cancel our full Winter Concert, which was scheduled for Tuesday, December 7th. However, the Band department will be hosting a smaller concert on this day at 6:30pm in the Gym.
Looking at all of the COVID and safety protocols for our students and parents, we believe that a virtual component would be the best option at this time. Our Choral, Orchestra and World Drumming departments will be taping performance pieces and we will be sharing this with each of you upon completion on our various web resources.
We truly appreciate your understanding in this matter. Our top priority is to our students and their safety. We are looking ahead to the Spring, where we will be implementing procedures that will allow us the opportunity to physically perform for you in person with our full groups.
