Students sing with space commander Chris Hadfield on Music Monday

Space-Hadfield — Students from C.W. Sears School stare intently up at Commander Chris Hadfield, who is playing guitar and singing along with them and thousands of others during a high-tech concert on Music Monday from space.

“Very exciting, once in a lifetime event!”

That’s how Cheryl McCartney described being able to sing along with thousands of others while the world’s most famous current astronaut played guitar for them via a big screen television set.

On Monday May 6th, C.W. Sears students joined hundreds of thousands of other students across Canada for Music Monday.

“We participated in a live webcast connecting us with the International Space Station, so we could sing, ‘Is Somebody Singing’ with Commander Chris Hadfield,” said McCartney.

“It was a wonderful experience, as we filled the skies with music!”
