It’s with heavy heart that the Seward Concert Band made the decision this evening to suspend the remainder of our season indefinitely.
We will be canceling the performances we had scheduled for this weekend – March 13 and 14 – and we will suspend rehearsals immediately. We hope for our community and our world that the coronavirus is contained soon.
Should the situation improve enough for the band to feel it is safe to resume rehearsals, we will inform our musicians via email, website, and social media. Otherwise, we hope to see everyone again in the fall.
Thank you for your support this season.

Most of the materials and and some of the skills needed for that work, though, need to be purchased, rented, or hired.
