the notes Melissa!
Hello Band!
Happy New Year!
The Board voted last night to go ahead as planned with beginning ACWE's
season next Tuesday the 11th at 7:30 PM. Vaccinations are currently
required to attend rehearsals. Please read through the points below for all
of the information regarding rehearsals and the Band's Covid Protocols.
- Vaccinations are currently required to attend rehearsals.
Participants must be fully vaccinated, by the CDC definition
<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html>(currently
2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna or 1 dose of J&J). *Please bring proof of
vaccination to the first rehearsal you attend.* Once Travis county
drops to stage 2 of Covid Alert, proof of vaccination will no longer be
required.
- If you are exposed to someone who tests positive for Covid, or is
showing Covid symptoms, please do not come to rehearsal for at least one
week.
- Any member who gets Covid agrees to inform the ACWE board by email (
acweboard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). The board will then notify all ACWE members
who were at the previous rehearsal with that band member. Please wait to
return to rehearsals until one week after symptoms disappear.
- Attendance will be taken at each rehearsal. Minimum attendance
requirements will not be enforced. Please stay home to be safe as needed.
- Masks are required in the Covenant Church building, please wear a mask
when outside of the rehearsal area.
- Brass players, please bring your own cloth to catch spit each
rehearsal.
First rehearsal items to bring:
-proof of vaccination
-mask
-spit cloth for brass players
-your horn
-you!
We hope to make the best of this season while maintaining a reasonably safe
environment for our friends. Please do not take any risks you are
uncomfortable with. The Board has spent a lot of time discussing the Band's
return to music in person. We've tried to find the appropriate balance of
risk and reward, and more than anything we look forward to being able to
play music together again.
Thank you,
Tom
