This will address concerns about social distancing, mic and equipment sharing and as our part to Flattening the Curve. This decision has a major impact on the planning and preparation effort our New and Emerging youth talent have been under taking for their April 25 Youth Week Concert. ... In regards to the future of the Youth Week concert, we have two options:- 1) In the event Youth Week is postponed, we will work towards a Youth Week concert on the new date. 2) In the event Youth Week is cancelled altogether we will work on a Youth Music Show Case event under our own banner.
