COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS PLAN FOR THE HOPKINS WESTWIND CONCERT BAND
August 20, 2022
The Hopkins Westwind Concert Band (HWCB) is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all our musicians and audience members. To ensure that we have a safe and healthy rehearsal and performance environment, The HWCB Board of Directors has developed the following COVID-19 Preparedness Plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All participating band members are responsible for implementing this plan. Our goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 in our rehearsal and performance environments.
The COVID-19 Preparedness Plan is administered by the HWCB President, who maintains the overall authority and responsibility for the plan. However, band members are equally responsible for supporting, implementing, complying with, and providing recommendations to further improve all aspects of this plan. We have involved band members in this process by distributing this plan to all band members and integrating their suggestions into the plan when applicable.
HWCB members (including people participating in all small ensembles sponsored by the HWCB) are part of a close-knit community. They are expected to treat all other HWCB members with the same care and consideration as they would treat their own family. While the HWCB Board does not monitor members' adherence to the following guidelines, the Board reserves the right to terminate the membership of anyone who demonstrates a lack of adherence. Any member who feels that these guidelines are not being observed should direct their concerns to the HWCB President.
The following guidelines must be followed regardless of the location of the rehearsal or performance (indoors or outdoors, small room or large room).
Guidelines to be observed by all band members
Performance space protocol
At performances the HWCB will ask audience members to adhere to all protocols required by the performance venue.
Rehearsal space cleaning and disinfection protocol
The HWCB will adhere to any cleaning and disinfecting protocols of the entity providing indoor rehearsal or performance space.
Communications protocol
This COVID-19 Preparedness Plan was communicated via email to all band members on August 20, 2022.
This COVID-19 Preparedness Plan has been certified by the HWCB Board of Directors and the plan was posted on the band website and made readily available to band members on August 20, 2022. It will be updated as necessary by Doug Martin
