WINTER RECITAL 2020

 
Hello Melody Institute Parents and Students!
 
We are happy to announce plans for a Winter Recital this December*! As you know, our Annual Spring Recital had to be canceled this year due to the COVID-19 crisis and subsequent state lockdown. It has been a strange, somber year but it is our hope to bring our incredible students a little ray of sunshine in this opportunity to finally perform and showcase their amazing talents.
 
***
 
As with all things this year, this recital will be a little different. We will be following strict protocols to ensure the safety of our students and staff while doing our best to give you a quality recital experience.
 
Winter Recital 2020 will be held on DECEMBER 20, 2020 at our Saddle Brook location. This year, we will have the show available to you via live stream; an in-person audience will not be permitted this year for the safety of our students and staff.
Please read the following details thoroughly and carefully:
  • Students will be assigned to specific recital times for December 20th.
  • Students will need to sanitize their hands before and after their performances.
  • Masks will be required for everyone in the building. Students will wear masks while performing.
  • Only one student will be allowed inside the performance room at a time.
  • No live audience will be in attendance; only our videographer, announcer, and individual teachers will be allowed into the performance room while adhering to social distancing.
  • Parents will be asked to wait in their vehicles while students perform. A live stream link will be provided to all parents. 
  • Students will leave immediately after their performance.
  • A VOD (video-on-demand) reupload of the recital will be provided for all parents/performers sometime after the recital date.
    - DVD copies will not be provided this year.
If you are interested in participating in the Winter Recital, please let us know as soon as possible. We will need to know the exact number of performers so that we can arrange everything according to the COVID-19 protocol we will be following.
Please also speak with your/your child's teacher as soon as possible so that they can start to prepare students for performance.
