Rehearsals
Rehearsals will take place Monday evenings as detailed below. Please observe these guidelines:
- Covid:
- Singers must be fully vaccinated.
- Until further notice, masking at rehearsals is optional.
- Do not attend rehearsal if you have covid, suspect you have it, or have not tested negative following suspected exposure. (Current guidelines specify two successive negative tests.)
- Other illness:
- If you feel ill (fever, respiratory symptoms, etc.) please stay home. If possible, please let Hube and Steve know in advance (see below).
- If you are not contagious but can't sing, come and sit in the back. You will be counted as present.
- Fragrances: No scented substances at rehearsals or performances—especially mint, which causes a severe allergy.
- Known food allergies: Mint (eaten or smelled), hazelnut if eaten, mango if eaten.
- Absence or late arrival (especially if more than 10-15 minutes): Email Hube or Steve, or call (see roster). Earlier is better.
