PPE IN BAND
At all times in rehearsal, students must have bell covers on. Masks are to be worn when not actively playing your instrument. Although not required, we do suggest you continue to use your performance masks or a disposable mask with a slit in it to play your instrument. Percussion must wear masks at all times. Brass players must utilize a puppy pad or towel for emptying spit valves.
