- Water Jug (with name clearly marked on it). There will not be access to additional water sources/drinking fountains during our rehearsals, therefore a 1 gallon water jug should prove adequate for the duration of time we will be outside.
- Sun Protection: A hat or visor (to keep sun from face/eyes), sunscreen
- Flip folder
- Lyre (specific for your instrument)
- Wire music stand (for outside playing rehearsals). *Bring clothes pins or clips to secure music to your stand as we will be outside* There will be no sharing of stands as we will be mandating the 6 - 10 feet social distancing guidelines at all times.
In accordance with best practices established by local and state agencies, the following procedures will be observed. Below is a summary, and attached are the detailed guidelines.
- Social Distancing: Entrances and Exits will all be clearly marked and monitored to reduce cross contamination between groups. Please see the attached maps. Students will not be allowed to linger before and after rehearsals. During rehearsals, students will be assigned clearly marked spots to maintain proper distancing.
- Self-Report Questionnaire: All students and staff will be required to complete a self-report for symptoms. Anyone experiencing symptoms is asked to not attend rehearsal and notify Directors immediately. bit.ly/vhsdailyscreening
- Hygiene:
- Students and staff will wear face coverings as they arrive and dismiss, as well as whenever appropriate distancing is not possible (transitioning to and from rehearsal spaces). We will be using the Uniform Vines Band Face Mask should we travel.
- Students will be given clear instructions for regularly cleaning their instruments and equipment.
- Water: To reduce spreading of germs, students are REQUIRED to supply their own water and will not be allowed to share. We will be bringing the Uniform Vines Band Water Jug should we travel.
- Students are recommended by state guidelines to shower immediately after returning home.
- Health:
- Students should eat a light, healthy breakfast. We will be moving and working – they will not be able to succeed without energy. Avoid greasy foods and dairy products.
- Students will be provided regular access to water, along with regularly-scheduled breaks as they acclimate to outdoor weather.
- Students should wear light colored, breathable clothing and supportive, athletic footwear (No sandals or boots of any kind).
- Students should rehydrate each night by drinking at least 0.5L of water before bed.
