I agree with limiting those playing to those who are fully vaccinated. Same for the audience.
I won't get into masks/bell covers/air coming out the holes, etc. as it's been discussed to death on the school Band Director forums and facebook groups I belong to. I don't think anyone knows the precise details on this stuff anyway, despite the apparent studies that have been done.

Most likely the band I play in in NYC area each summer will play concerts with distancing in the band & audience. I won't go (again) because we are behind here in Canada re vaccine rollouts because Canada can't produce it's own. Also, the border has been closed since March/20. Anyway, I would not take the chance on playing with only one vaccine shot (2nd in Aug.), masks or not. Not worth the risk, especially after avoiding Covid all this time.

I get frustrated when I read of school band directors moaning about it being the end of the world because they are not allowed to get their kids together to rehearse and perform. 580 thousand+ in the U.S.have died-- they should just suck it up. I haven't played a note in public since our last concert Aug. 1, 2019.
Oh, I also agree with you on big steal #1, and I was a Republican before I left the U.S.
