The school year is nearing its end, and for Seward County Community College, that means it is time for the school’s annual spring concert.

This year’s concert will be April 24 in the Showcase Theater, and unlike many years, Instrumental Music Instructor Claire Thompson said she did not have a theme for this year’s concert.

“It’s a mixture of songs my students have all picked,” she said.
