Rehearsal schedule
We will be rehearsing at Chippewa again this season. The Board is researching a potential new "home" for the LCB, but this space will not be available until spring 2023.
There will be no rehearsals on: Halloween, Oct 31; MLK Day, Jan 16; President's Day, Feb 20; and April 3 (spring break). Winter inclement weather: if Okemos schools call a snow day, we will not rehearse.
COVID policy updates
The CDC states that nearly 95% of all Americans have some immunity due to vaccination and/or having caught COVID, and they no longer suggest social distancing. In light of this change in guidance, the board has decided we will no longer require COVID vaccinations to participate in band. However, the board strongly encourages you to keep your vaccinations up-to-date, and will review this policy throughout the year, based on the COVID infection rates. We expect the Okemos schools' mask policy will be “masks optional for students and staff”, so masks are not required. However, if you feel ill, or if you are exposed to COVID, please do NOT attend rehearsals. We need to protect each other, and one of the best ways to do that is to avoid spreading illness in our rehearsals.
