Rehearsal COVID Policies
In the current public health situation we are relaxing our COVID policies as described below. Given our demographics, however, and the nature of playing wind instruments indoors, we reserve the right to step back to a more strict requirement if the public health situation worsens.
1. Vaccination for COVID-19 is no longer required for participation, but is strongly encouraged.
2. Everyone MUST continue to be very vigilant as to their health status.
3. Anyone who develops ANY possible symptoms must NOT come to a rehearsal.
4. Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 must miss the next two rehearsals (and be symptom-free before returning).
5. Anyone who is a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 must miss the next rehearsal.
​
If you are going to miss a rehearsal please inform the conductor.
