GREENLAWN, NY — The mandated closure of schools due to the new coronavirus has impacted students across Long Island, including student-musicians. Events like SCMEA All-County Festivals, NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festivals, as well as school concerts and musicals students had spent months preparing for, were all canceled. However, that didn't stop two dozen Harborfields students from showcasing what they've been working in a video linked below. "I wish we were in school right now making music together, but obviously that can't happen," Dan Bilawsky, band director and K-12 music department coordinator at Harborfields, said in the video. "Even though all of this has taken place, you can't stop the music from being made." You can watch the full Harborfields Central School District student-musicians' video by clicking here. The participating students were Lea Andreadis, Maeve Baron, Victoria Bell, Alexa Best, Jared Buchholtz, Asuka Cruz, Aya Deckman, Emma Di Prima, Alexis Ebanks, Ty Ellenbogen, Amelia Freiberger, Olivia Freiberger, Needjy Guerrier, Peter Hoss, Justin Lowenhar, Hope Lusby, Paige Lusby, Kate Lysaght, Aidan Katz, Angeline Miraglia, Norene Miraglia, Eva Pukke, Emerson Rathbun, Hartley Semmes, Henry Treanor, Elke Walter, Owen Walter and Rhys Walter.
