Returning to In-Person Band

1/13/2021

 
​Good Afternoon, Everyone,

Today, teachers received notification that we will be returning to in-person learning on Tuesday, January 19th.

As we transition back to in-person learning, there will be some changes to band in an effort to rehearse as safely as possible and continue to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Split Sites
Until the new COVID case count for Payne county significantly decreases, we will divide the band in half. The upper woodwinds (flute, clarinet, and alto sax) will rehearse at the Middle School band room while the remaining band members will rehearse at the High School band room. By doing this, we will be able to position all students facing the same direction at least 6 feet apart.

Upper woodwinds will report to the Middle School Band Room to start their school day. Drivers will be allowed to drive from the MS to the HS for their 2nd hour. Non-drivers will ride a shuttle bus after 1st hour from the MS to the HS (there will be plenty of room to spread out on the bus).


New Masks
All members of the band (with the exception of flutes and percussion who will wear normal masks) will be required to wear musician masks that allow students to play their instrument while still wearing a mask. These masks will be purchased through the band office for $5, payable to P-T Band (50% of the original price). If students have money in their student account, they may use those funds to pay for their new mask. These masks will need to be washed on a regular basis. Again, these masks will be a requirement for all students (with the exception of flutes and percussion).

If a student should misplace their mask, they will have to purchase a new one for the full price of $10.

Information regarding these masks can be found here: 
https://www.bandshoppe.com/shop/health-safety/overlapping-music-mask-701051/


Distance Learning
Students that choose the Distance Learning option will be expected to attend band rehearsal via Google Meet every day and submit playing assignments. This will hopefully allow them to have a bit of social interaction and allow them to continue to participate in band even if it is through a Distant Learning model.


Rehearsal Times
Rehearsals will begin at 8am every day at both sites.


I hope you are well. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

London 2022

11/19/2020

 
I am resending this email because very few people have responded. Please carefully read this email and complete the linked survey if you are going and/or are interested in going to London in 2022. If you completed the survey a few weeks ago, you do NOT need to do it again.


Good Afternoon!

Due to COVID-19, the band's 2021 trip to London had to be postponed for one year. This being the case, there are several items that need to be addressed.

Who is eligible to participate?
Band students that are currently in the 7th-12th Grades and their families

When is the trip?
May of 2022 (Exact dates are TBA, but it will most likely be the last week of May.)

Total Cost
$3645.00 per person

More Information:
Watch this video: https://www.loom.com/share/5c2d22d9d7614381b3e419ba99988813

Documents attached to this email:
  • 2022 London Payment Schedule
    • Details payment amounts, due dates, and the running total paid by each due date.
  • Current Trip Participants
    • A list of participants that signed up for the 2021 trip that plan to participate in 2022. (If I have made a mistake, please let me know.)
  • 2022 London Participant Contract
    • To be submitted with the first payment.
    • If you are a current trip participant, please fill out and submit a new one.
  • London Trip Payment Form
    • To be submitted with every payment.


_______________________________________________________________
THIS SECTION IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, BUT ARE NOT CURRENTLY SIGNED UP.

If you are interested in participating in the trip, please complete the form linked below. You do NOT have to be 100% certain at this time. We just need to know who is interested.

INTENT TO PARTICIPATE FORM: https://forms.gle/R2oFLqieP73TALZu8



_______________________________________________________________
THIS SECTION IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE ON THE CURRENT TRIP PARTICIPANT LIST.

If you no longer wish to participate, I can issue you a refund with the exception of the initial $200 deposit. Please email me to ask for your refund.

All trip accounts have been updated to reflect the new payment schedule. You do not have to make a new payment until your balance no longer covers the total amount due on any given due date. That being said, you can make payments towards your trip at any time.

If you do not remember how to access your trip account, please email me, and I will send you a new link.

Even though you are already signed up to participate in the trip, please complete these two tasks:
  • Submit this form: https://forms.gle/R2oFLqieP73TALZu8
  • Complete and submit a new 2022 London Trip Participant Contract by January 8th.
    • (This contract does not negate the 2021 contract in regard to your initial $200 deposit from January 2019 no longer being refundable.)



_______________________________________________________________
THIS SECTION IS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BACKED OUT OF THE TRIP, BUT WOULD LIKE TO RECONSIDER.

If you previously backed out of the trip and received a refund but have changed your mind, it is not too late to sign back up. The $200 deposit that was not refunded to you can still be applied to your trip if you decide to go. 
All you have to do is: 
  • Complete and submit the 2022 London Trip Participant Contract by January 8th.
  • Complete this Google Form: https://forms.gle/R2oFLqieP73TALZu8



________________________________________________________________
​EVERYONE​

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. We would also like to make everyone aware if we do not have enough participants to take the trip, we may have to cancel it entirely in which case everyone on the Current Trip Participant List would be out the initial $200 deposit. It is our hope that we do not have to cancel. When first planning this trip, we never anticipated the world would be thrown into a pandemic. Let's all hope things will begin to return to normal in the coming months!


Hope you are doing well!

PAYNE COUNTY LEVEL ORANGE 1
These are extremely uncertain times for EVERYONE. We would like everyone to know and understand that if you (or your student) feel at all uncomfortable or unsafe about attending daily band rehearsal and/or attending potential future football games, it is okay, and we will completely understand if you (or your student) choose to pause participation in band due to safety and health concerns. 

Students will NOT be penalized for choosing Distance Learning or choosing to not attend a football game for health and safety reasons. Mr. Nichols and myself are doing our best to keep the students safe and healthy while they are with us; however, we certainly understand if there are still concerns. If you (or your student) choose to go the Distance Learning route or would like to NOT attend football games, we ask that you let us know in advance so we may plan accordingly.

We would like to thank you and the students for doing your part in keeping the band and those around us safe. 

Remember to be smart and be kind! Have a great Sunday!
