We were pleasantly surprised on Monday, March 8th, to receive an update from AHS saying that music performance groups can return to rehearsals. This was great news for the music community!
However, while we are now permitted to resume meeting as a group, there are additional restrictions we will need to follow:
- All persons in attendance must wear a mask at all times
- No more than 10 people in the room at one time, including instructors
- Distancing has been increased to three meters
Our conductors are discussing what our options are and how we can work with these restrictions to give our Student an opportunity to play as a group again. Once we know who is planning to attend, we will finalize a list of students. Because we are now so limited, we may need to temporarily change rehearsal times and/or locations – Members will receive these details as soon as possible. Please check your email for a response, and do not attend rehearsal if you have not yet received a confirmation of time and location.
Anyone who prefers to withdraw from the Program for the remainder of this season may do so and request a refund for the canceled weeks. Refunds may be donated to the program if you so wish, and tax receipts will be issued for the donated amounts.
