Covid protocols
We all know Covid remains active in our communities and degree of risk depends on one’s health status. We recognize that singing is a very efficient way to spread respiratory diseases. We recommend the following, and we encourage singers to take whatever additional precautions they deem appropriate:
While we will not require vaccines or testing, we recommend both as you are able. Sing with us another time if you feel at all ill. We ask anyone who tests positive in the week after the convention to let the chairs know so we can alert the community to any exposure risk.
Questions?
Contact the chairs for more information:

We look forward to singing with you!
