Thank you to everyone who made the boys choir concert a success last Thursday. It was a fantastic event, beautiful music in a lovely setting. Thank you especially to Rockafellas who donated Colonial Hall when the weather made Old Town Hall an unbearably hot location for the concert and to The Dejas for assisting with the sound equipment needed for the concert. The Merchant Taylors’ London Boys Choir really appreciated Salem hospitality and said it was their favorite venue out of their whole tour. The concert was part of a trip to celebrate the schools 450th anniversary. SMS also would like to thank all those who gave donations at the concert to support the Salem Farmers’ Market.
