Audience attendance
Due to SPS COVID safety requirements for in-person performances and the capacity of our auditorium, each student will only be able to have one guest attend. All adults will be required to show proof of vaccine and all attendees will need to complete a health verification and wear masks for the duration of the performance.
For families and family members who can’t attend the in-person concert, a recording will be sent out so that you can see your student’s performance. We wish everyone could be here in person, but we realize that won’t be possible for this concert. Fingers crossed for March!

Concert attire
Students are expected to wear nice, all black clothes and shoes. No jeans, sweats, sneakers, or crop tops please. Clothing should not have any obvious logos on it. Mrs. Schaefer has asked students who are choosing to wear a dress or skirt to be mindful of the fact that they are elevated on the stage and that a too-short skirt might show the audience more than they want to. Now is a good time to purchase nice black clothes, as stores are gearing up for the holiday party season. Students often end up wearing their same concert outfit for an entire year or more. If you need financial assistance to be able to provide these items for your student, please let Mrs. Schaefer know as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made.
