I support the idea of polling the membership to see if we should postpone
starting rehearsals for 2-3 weeks.

I'm thinking it might be best to postpone 2-3 weeks atleast with the latest
surges going on after the holidays. That would give people additional time to
get boosted. There have been a number of cases at my work place too in the
last month. What is our current plan if Travis county moves to stage 5?

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 (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
