The Fall 2020 Semester will take place in a HYBRID Format.
Due to the current restrictions in Allegheny County, there is a 25 person limit for indoor gatherings. Therefore, we have created a HYBRID program for the Fall 2020 semester. Students will be separated into Group A or Group B to limit the amount of students in one location. (More groups may be added if deemed necessary.)
While Group A rehearses in person, Group B will be attending virtually at home via live stream. The following week, we will switch: Group B in person, Group A virtual.
What group will I be in? Once we have gathered your information from the
Participation Confirmation Google Form, we will separate each ensemble into their respective groups. You will be notified via email. Live stream links will be sent ahead of the Sunday rehearsal time.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocol for PYCO Fall 2020
We are constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation and are doing our best to create the safest environment to make music together.
This includes: reduced rehearsal time, reduced student capacity, social distancing, sanitation between ensemble rehearsals, air circulation between ensemble rehearsals, face masks at all times, and shields between brass and woodwind students. Please review our Health and Safety Protocol
