We are so excited to announce that band has returned to in-person! Here are some guidelines that we are required to follow.

EHSMB COVID Protocols

• Upon arrival, all attendees will undergo a temperature check, health screening, and attendance record including phone #. Anyone who does not pass the checks upon arrival or becomes symptomatic during rehearsal will be isolated and immediately sent home.
• Social/physical distancing will be enforced at all times: 6 feet apart (4 step interval) including drop off and pick up.
• Face masks/coverings are required at all times except during workouts, i.e. playing wind instruments... As far as masks are concerned, a mask will be provided for those who need one, however individuals are permitted to wear their own face coverings and do not have to wear one we supply.
