Hilliard Bradley’s premier a cappella group, Shades of Blue released their first single today on all music platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. The single is a cover of “Exile” by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver arranged by Jamey Boezi.

At the beginning of the school year Shades of Blue was faced with the question of how to adapt and change due to COVID restrictions. The group decided to innovate instead of focusing on limitations. The students decided to work on a recording project which was a first for the group. They immediately got to work learning five songs in a very short period of time. In November 2020, all fifteen members recorded their parts individually at the ILC recording studio in Hilliard. After this all of the recordings were sent off to a professional a cappella production company called Aurum Productions to take care of the post-production.

Today, Shades of Blue released their first of two singles to be released in the next two months. The full album is set to release in May. The single can be purchased as well as streamed wherever you get your music. The proceeds from this single and the upcoming album will help to fund future recording projects for the group.

As we begin the process to prepare for the 2021/22 school year, we know our families have many questions.  This information is for all parents/guardians, whether your student is attending in person or in the Online Academy.

Below are the steps you and your student will go through for each grade level.  Here are a few important things to remember for all ages:

1. 2021/22 School Year Commitments are for the entire school year. You will not have the option of choosing a half year or switching between programs.
2. The 2021/22 School Year Commitment forms will be sent out on April 5. The only parents/guardians that need to fill out the Commitment Form are those enrolling their students in the Online Academy.  The deadline to enroll in the Online Academy is April 9.
3. Teachers at the secondary level will be providing students with course recommendations in Home Access. You can email your teacher if you have questions about their recommendation.
4. Before making the commitment to the Online Academy year be sure to review the available course offerings. NOT ALL SECONDARY CLASSES ARE OFFERED IN THE ONLINE ACADEMY.

Please remember as we go through the next several weeks our principals, teachers, and counselors are all available to help your family every step of the way.
