We could poll members to see who would actually return now vs postponing a week
or two.

Much as I hate second-guessing, a week delay?

Hi gang. Just wanted to give a heads up that things are grim on the front
lines. I've had 3 minions go down with a case of covid over the last 2 days.
Lots, and I mean lots of tests are coming back positive. As much as I want to
be back and playing again, an unbiased assessment of the dumpster fire we're
in is necessary. It might behoove the group to postpone.
Alright, back to the trenches. More shells incoming. Stay safe out there.

In fact I sent one to this mail from another account, and I don't see it in the
forum.

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<mailto: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
