The Board has decided, after discussions with Dr. Ron MacKenzie, to act on behalf of the safety of our members. In light of the continuing pandemic and spikes in infections, and because the circus tent has been re-erected and offered for our use at Masters, we feel that it is a better overall choice to rehearse outside to start the season. We will rehearse on Sunday afternoons in the tent until such time as we are able to reinstate indoor rehearsals safely at TMH. This could be one or two rehearsals, or it could be more. We ask that you look ahead and be flexible.

Currently, Masters requires all students, faculty, and guest artists to be vaccinated. Access to TMH requires vaccination as well once we return there.

I recognize that this shift from Monday evenings to Sunday afternoons will be inconvenient for some players. We ask you to look ahead and try to clear Sunday afternoons for September and October. If you have an attendance issue, please contact David.

We are hoping that the next weeks will bring news that will steady the curve and allow us to make appropriate decisions to return safely to indoor rehearsals with the full ensemble at TMH. In the meantime, please plan to join us in the tent once more at Masters for our first rehearsal on Sunday, September 12 at 3:00-5:30 pm. Folders with hard copies of all music will be handed out that day. If you want access to PDF copies of parts, click here. Some, but not all, parts are available via that Google Drive folder.
