To celebrate the school’s 70th anniversary, County offered a free concert on the lawn (later moved indoors due to weather), featuring, Staff Infection, senior Sela Campbell, and graduate Emma Rowley, with food trucks available.

Starting the show was Staff Infection, consisting of faculty members Matthew Armes on the drums, William Rosenfeld on keyboard, acoustic guitar, and vocals, Phillip D’arcangelis on bass, Matthew Trkula as lead guitarist, Camilla Bales and Elizabeth Javidian on vocals, and Richard Ricci on rhythm guitar.

Next up was senior Sela Campbell, singing classics such as Wagon Wheel and her original song, One Track Mind. Concluding was former student Emma Rowley with a setlist of her original songs.
