A Valentine's Day-time tradition in Sharon wrapped up for 2012 today with a goodbye for now.

The Sharon High School Concert Band received heartfelt applause after performing, as it has in recent years, during the Sharon Adult Center and Council on Aging's annual Valentine's Day party, in the Sharon Community Center ballroom.

"I have two pieces of bad news," Sharon High Band Director Timothy McGee told the crowd after he and his 60 students took their bows.

"The first is, the concert's over. The second piece of bad news is, the kids have to go back to school.

"We enjoy being here. We trust we'll be back here again next year at this time, too."

Music to the audience ears.
