----------
If you are quarantined, obviously you must stay home until your quarantine is up. Please make sure the band staff is aware of your situation. Call or text the band hotline: (912) 549-0262.
----------
If you tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home until you are cleared to return. Please make sure the band staff is aware of your situation so that we can confirm your return date. Call or text the band hotline: (912) 549-0262.
----------
Each day you will have your temperature taken and will be asked if you have experienced COVID symptoms. Please stay home if you are experiencing any COVID symptoms. (And please let us know WHY you stayed home!). Please arrive a few minutes early to take care of this.
On Tuesday and Thursday, all students should be dropped off by the practice field, except for tubas and percussion. Please do not plan to go inside for anything on those two days.
PARENTS WHO ARE DROPPING STUDENTS OFF: Please stay while we check your child for symptoms. Once your child is cleared, you may leave. This keeps us from having to try to call you to come back if there is an issue.
Masks are required indoors EXCEPT when performing/practicing. Percussion should keep their mask on at all times indoors.
Masks are NOT required outdoors.
EVERYONE MUST BRING THEIR OWN WATER BOTTLE. We will no longer provide water. If you do not bring your own water bottle, you will be sent home.
The auditorium steps are now off limits. Water breaks will be taken spaced out on the practice field. Do not go to the auditorium steps for any reason.
Students will be assigned a spot on the sideline for your equipment, water bottle, etc.
PARENTS and GUARDIANS: If you are not comfortable with your child returning to band at this time, please let us know. We understand that some families are not comfortable, and there will be no consequences for a student who misses rehearsal at this time, as long as a parent/guardian communicates that to Mr. Carter. Text the band hotline at (912) 549-0262.
If you have not been keeping up with your online assignments in your classes, please get that taken care of over the weekend. (This includes your band class!) It's not a good look for you to skip out on your school work, but come to band.
I am scheduled to have a conversation with Dr. Thompson on Monday regarding USC Band Day. I need everyone who is signed up for the trip to complete this quick survey before Monday:
