It was a very disappointing day for a group of young musicians at Leyden High School and their parents who were looking forward to performing at Chicago's most prestigious stage, but were relocated over concerns about downtown safety.
"I'm upset," said Gregg Mantz, whose son was performing. "Because my son is in the band and now he doesn't have an opportunity to play on that stage."
But on Friday afternoon, an alert went out announcing a location change to Oak Park-River Forest High School. It came in the wake of the chaos that unfolded just steps away from Symphony Center last weekend, and amid the possibility of more trouble."It's pretty sad the state of affairs that the city is in right now, and it's led us to the point where our kids can't even play at the Symphony Center," said Greg Brosch, another parent.
