There has to be more germs in one brass player's spit valve spray than the whole woodwind section all together.

I know this is completely unrealistic, but seeing as how unreasonable the policy it is, I would try to get the clarinet section to go on strike for better working conditions. Maybe as a compromise you can advocate that the band not play anything with a concert A in it.

I really don't think I would be able to put up with such nonsense. Having school administrators and school boards develop policies for musical instruments is kind of like asking musicians to develop best practice standards for oceanographers.

I guess "bell covers" are "where it's at" for some people. They would do better to check everyone's temperature.

This reminds me of being a painter and "shoe coverings". Paint and dirt on a shoe cover gets on a carpet just as easily as on a shoe, except with shoe coverings the painter is about 10x as likely to fall and break his neck on your property, you are MORE likely to get paint on your floor because it doesn't come off on the drop cloths, it costs you more because he has to fool with it every time he goes to the van, or he decides NOT to do something because going to the van is such a pain, OR he's just going to wear the shoe covers outside which picks up more dirt than shoes would. IDK, "shoe coverings" are where it's at for some people. Never mind that there's drywall dust, old moldy residue, and displaced accumulated crud everywhere while you are working, not to mention open buckets of paint. But it's better to have shoe coverings because the Big Mac crumbs in the van won't get on the hardwood floor, even if he's going to catch the paint tray on the poofy covers and have "Annapolis Blue" flying everywhere.
