Chazy concert rescheduled
CHAZY — The Fall Concert at Chazy Central Rural School has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the school auditorium.

High numbers of student absences and the illness of a music teacher drove the decision to suspend the event last week. As well, said Superintendent Kevin Mulligan, it didn't seem prudent to seat hundreds in close proximity in the auditorium in the midst of the flu epidemic.

Performing in the Nov. 9 concert will be the elementary, junior-high and senior-high choruses as well as the Jazz Band, Elementary Band, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble.

"Music students in grades 4 through 12 will perform a wide variety of musical selections and styles," a press release said.

The public is invited to the free event.
