The Jonathan Law Band is currently recording a video concert for Law students, faculty, staff, and families. 

Law Band Director Mr. Pelaggi said that a virtual concert was the best way to safely record music while band members were at home. 

Right now, I feel like not performing in front of a live audience is our responsibility,” Pelaggi said. “We are doing our part in keeping our community safe by not holding performances.”

The students in the Law band also recorded a video of themselves playing “Jingle Bells” last January. The choir and orchestra sang along with them.

Band students said that they didn’t mind having to perform virtually due to COVID-19.

I don’t really care who I’m performing with as long as the music that is being played works,” percussionist Kayla Lembo said. 

Many band students said that they can not wait until Law returns to school full-time. They know that staying and performing music at home can be hard.

“I think it would be (a) good (idea),” percussionist Kaitlyn Miner said.

Band members also think that the band is also doing well virtually. 

“I think we are doing better than I expected us too,” percussionist Hannah Patterson said.
