‘American Pie’ returns in virtual event Friday

COLUMBUS, Ind. — “American Pie: The Magical History Tour” is returning — not as an in-person event, but at least as a full band presentation online Friday.

Last year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, only a few instrumentalists virtually accompanied a mix of student-vocalists who recorded their songs alone at home for the presentation. This year, about 110 people made possible the one-hour-plus production that will be live by 8 a.m. Friday on the cnhsmedia YouTube.com channel. The show can be viewed indefinitely, according to organizers.
