To honor our fundamental commitment to the health, well-being, and safety of all involved in ensemble music making, the structure of the High School Honor Bands may be modified. Modifications follow months of discussion in which the needs of the musicians who gather in person to make music have been balanced with the most reliable scientific evidence available regarding Covid-19. Modifications to the size of the ensembles, seating arrangements, rehearsal length, and the use of PPE (masks and bells covers) may be implemented. Students and directors will receive detailed information regarding safety protocols once notified of acceptance into the UWEC High School Honor Band.
